Hoodlum (1997) delves into the intense rivalry between two powerful gangs in the 1930s Harlem underworld, each vying for dominance in the illicit gaming industry. The story revolves around Bumpy Johnson, a cunning and strategic African American leader, and Dutch Schultz, a ruthless and impulsive white gangster. Efforts to mediate the conflict by Lucky Luciano, a prominent white syndicate boss, ultimately fail, leading to a surge in violence and Johnson's imprisonment. Upon his release, Johnson takes on the role of enforcer for Stephanie "The Queen" St. Clair, a formidable figure in the criminal underworld. When St. Clair is also incarcerated for racketeering, she extracts a promise from Johnson to maintain peace, setting the stage for a complex and dramatic narrative.
