Written, produced and directed by Vin Diesel, this personal coming-of-age tale takes an uncompromising look at Vin's own experiences growing up in New York City.
Strays was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance on its release in 1997 and brought a young Vin Diesel to the attention of Hollywood. Revolver Entertainment will be releasing the film for the first time in the UK on May 19.
Vin Diesel plays Rick, a young stray' hustling and dealing drugs on the mean streets of New York. When he falls for the beautiful Heather (Suzanne Lanza), she offers him an escape from the violence of the streets, but he is torn between his love for Heather and his loyalty to his old friends, and despite their chemistry, his ingrained violence and aggression threaten to extinguish their relationship before it even begins.
To win a copy of Strays on DVD, just answer the following question:
