25th Hour

Spike Lee's 25th Hour unfurls on a single day, as New York City's drug kingpin, Monty, navigates his final hours of freedom before a seven-year prison sentence. Amid the city's lingering trauma from the 9/11 attacks, Monty reckons with his fractured relationships and the consequences of his criminal life, weaving a tapestry of regret and reflection that lingers long after the credits roll.
