Vivant une vie plus ou moins paisible, Bishop et sa bande vont tout essayer pour gagner le respect dont ils rêvent. Cependant, ils ne sont pas en accord concernant la manière de le gagner. Tout bascule le jour où Bishop tente de rejoindre un braquage en cours à la suite duquel il ne parvient pas à convaincre ses 3 autres compagnons de l'épauler. Mais tout cela va changer lorsqu'ils se rendront compte que leur attirance pour la reconnaissance est assez grande pour commettre des crimes. Naturellement, Quincy (qui se fait appeler "Q") va se raisonner et mettre un terme à la folie que Bishop est en train de semer afin de retourner la situation. Les conséquences seront terribles pour les 4 jeunes hommes.
Voici le communiqué (en anglais) :
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – A powerful morality tale steeped in 90s urban culture, JUICE marked the feature directorial debut of Spike Lee’s acclaimed cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson and the first starring roles for Omar Epps and an electrifying Tupac Shakur. 25 years later, the gritty and influential film continues to be celebrated for its realistic portrayal of Harlem life, the early New York hip hop scene, and the fate of four friends in pursuit of the power and respect they call the Juice.
