Film Description

A gritty drama starring Al Pacino as a man whose heroin addiction drags him and his girlfriend into the seediest recesses of the drug underworld, The Panic in Needle Park launched Pacino's career and earned him a role in The Godfather. It was originally banned in the UK for its stark portrayal of heroin addiction in New York.

Small-time crook and sometime pusher Bobby (Pacino) frequents New York's 'Needle Park', home to a number of other addicts and dealers. One day he stumbles across Helen (Kitty Winn), a girl in need of direction after a botched abortion, and the pair fall hard for each other - with Helen soon deeply entrenched in Bobby's heroin-addicted world.
