Trailer for the movie 'Sleepers'. Starring Brad Renfro, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Dustin Hoffman and Jason Patric. Visit www.bradrenfro.org for more on Brad Renfro.
This is actually my FAVORITE movie. I have read the book and it's incredibly moving. There are some things different in the book from the movie. Most notably the fact that John was actually the boy closest with Father Bobby, although in the movie it appears that Shakes is his favorite. You should buy the book, it's absolutely worth it!
man i saw this when i was a kid and was really captivated. haven't seen it since though. i just remember the revenge scene and how BADASS and vengeful it was.
I can hardly listen to "Walk Like a Man" without crying now and I also cannot watch Kevin Bacon's movies because I want to strangle him! Nokes deserved a lot worse than what he got!
This was hell of a movie! I saw this a couple of days ago at school as I gotta admit it's a very well done movie with such amazing actors, great writting but it's very sad to know it happens in real life. I freaking love Kevin Bacon but damn, he was such a bastard in this movie and really scared the hell outta me (which demonstrates his amazing acting skills). Not to mention Brad Pitt and Dustin Hoffman who were amazing also ! I really recommend this movie!
I saw this movie last year during summer . It was about 3 a.m in the morning. Kevin Bacon scared the hell out of me , and I loved Brad Pitt and Robert de Niro .hat made this movie so brilliant to me was the fact that revenge seemed so natural, so alright.
It was sad but very well done movie - so emotional and touching. The acting was perfect. It was great to see Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Billy Crudup, Ron Eldard, Minnie Driver, young Brad Renfro in one film. They all did a wonderful job. This deep film only proves that the greatest movies were in the 90's.
This is the only book i read over and over when my parents abandoned me in AFRICA...... i even read it backwards...... i know it sounds fucked up but this book became my friend.... now its time to see the movie
lol makes sense! i can't believe he's not in the credits at the beginning. he's one of my favs since Waking the Dead (and of course almost famous is the best movie ever!)
This movie is disturbing and thought provoking. It probably needs to be seen multiple times to understand how molestation, "honor among criminals", friends, lovers, family, religion and etc. all come together to make the final decision of what should be done in the pursuit of "justice".
omg you took the words right out of my mouth. in terms of acting that is my favourite scene.. i get goosebumps watching it .. every single time. it was so brilliant and so real.. and he didnt have to say nothin
this is a great movie with great actors. you cant hate kevin bacon for playing a role. that just makes no sense at all.. hes great in many of the movies he plays in. i wish denero playd as a bad guy good guy cop though. hes the OG of gangster movies along with pacino. thumbs up if you agree
I watched this movie at a very young age and I must say I wish i didnt it scared me.. Even at this age its one movie I respect but dont think I'm brave enuff to ever watch again.. My heart goes out to anyone who have lived anything close to the images in this movie
Do you remember the name of the author who wrote "Sleepers"? I wouldn't mind reading it if I could find it. I liked the movie. They did a good job recreating the atmosphere of New York City and Hell's Kittchen in the 1960s. The young actors who portrayed the gang gave top-notch performances. I almost hated to see them grow up.
I read the book! It was amazing! Loved it sooo much. I love the movie but the book in 100% better! But i wouldnt recommened it to anyone who is easily disturbed. Still awesome though!! R.I.P Brad
at the beginning of the movie it really reminds me of basketballdiaries with leonardo dicaprio... just the way the movie is.. wth the guy talking in the background and them on the roof :D
@Perseiden2 That's not necessarily true in a Juvenile home. This kinda stuff never really got into the public eye back in the day, which in turn made it easier for it to happen. There are literally thousands of stories of this kind of abuse in both juvenile homes and residential schools.
dude...this movie is sooo good....i love it!...the end is really good..and shakes is hot!!both young and old..if u have read tha book please tell me if its tha same or not..and should i read it? thx:)
i wish someone had the movie downloaded on here does anyone know if it is?..... and is the book also called sleepers or does it have a different name cause i'd like to read it
Because this movie was so well done, I can't say it was enjoyable. I was disturbing! After I watched it I wish i hadn't. The sad thing is that these things happen in real life.
Just saw this movie for the first time. It is now one of my all time favorite's. Great film.
Dustin Hoffman's performance was elegant. Very, very good. Outstanding performer.
He was outstanding. Unforgettable here.

Loved the book!! Had more detail but the movie was spot on!!
Watched this when I was really young.
Just went on a mission to find it again.
woop.
found it.
I remembered Kevin Bacon
;D
Don't mess with King Benny's Sleepers! Excellent film covering a difficult subject. Brilliant acting.
How can this movie has a 7.5 rating on IMDB. it must be at least 8.5
at least
Idiots dinged the movie because it can't be proven to be about true events. Who cares?
man i saw this when i was a kid and was really captivated. haven't seen it since though. i just remember the revenge scene and how BADASS and vengeful it was.
"The future lay sparkling ahead, and we thought we would know each other forever."
Omg that is so sad!! When I read about it in the book and when I heard it. Filled my eyes with tears!

R.I.P. Bad Renfro (The actor that played a younger Mike). He was/is an amazing actor.
gran pelicula con gran elenco,empezando por Kevin Bacon que como lo odie pero ES UN GRAN ACTOR.
Why you can´t read Vittorio Gassman's name in the trailer or de info cage? I don´t get it, but it makes me a little mad.
lol makes sense! i can't believe he's not in the credits at the beginning. he's one of my favs since Waking the Dead (and of course almost famous is the best movie ever!)
this is one of the most beautiful movies i have ever seen
one of my ultimate fave movies...can never seem to watch it in one, so sad, but a true all star cast brilliant performance
I just watched this movie last week at my High School and its my Senior and I must say I LOVE IT!
I remember this movie now! It was great. I forget titles.
This movie is disturbing and thought provoking. It probably needs to be seen multiple times to understand how molestation, "honor among criminals", friends, lovers, family, religion and etc. all come together to make the final decision of what should be done in the pursuit of "justice".
omg you took the words right out of my mouth. in terms of acting that is my favourite scene.. i get goosebumps watching it .. every single time. it was so brilliant and so real.. and he didnt have to say nothin
i remember watching this as a kid. how i could forget such a movie???
Love this movie and the book! Definitely one of my all-time favorites!
I watched the movie last night and it was heart breaking to watch..
i saw this so long ago i forgot the title and was dying to see it again! i love the end i would do the same thing but worse!
I agree & thought the same thing.
This book and movie were both amazing!
I love how it shows the power of true friendship.
The book is amazing !!! if you like the movie then you will LOVE the book. I'm reading it now for the second time.
Just beautiful.
One of the greatest movies EVER....Great Movie,,,, staring with great actors..
That's the whole point of the film. It points how peoples lives can be shaped by the experiences of their childhood.
this is a great movie with great actors. you cant hate kevin bacon for playing a role. that just makes no sense at all.. hes great in many of the movies he plays in. i wish denero playd as a bad guy good guy cop though. hes the OG of gangster movies along with pacino. thumbs up if you agree
read the book and it was just breathtaking. hope the movie is as good as i hope
Joey Diaz Brought me here :/
One of the best books I've ever read but the first half is more interesting than the second half. Same with the movie.
"One down, Shakes. One down...."
perfect low key gem, worth my time for every second the movie is shown.
great film,spent a while in a home like that...40 years ago and I'm still fucked up...wish I could meet my tormentors!!!!!!!!!!!
I cried.
I remember I saw 10 minutes of this moviee years ago & I had no idea what it was called. One more movie to add to the to-watch list.
I watched this movie at a very young age and I must say I wish i didnt it scared me.. Even at this age its one movie I respect but dont think I'm brave enuff to ever watch again.. My heart goes out to anyone who have lived anything close to the images in this movie
Lief gestern abend auf RTL2 ! Einfach bester Film den ich je gesehen habe *-*

i agree, this movie was quite disturbing because they did such an amazing job making it. this is such a real story that it is hard to watch
I read the book! It was amazing! Loved it sooo much. I love the movie but the book in
100% better! But i wouldnt recommened it to anyone who is easily disturbed.
Still awesome though!!
R.I.P Brad
very authentic setting (new york) @ 1:13 is a blade graffiti piece which would have existed at that period 80's
at the beginning of the movie it really reminds me of basketballdiaries with leonardo dicaprio... just the way the movie is.. wth the guy talking in the background and them on the roof :D
@SilverHammock i know. it was like that for me too when i saw him in this movie. great actor!
@Perseiden2 That's not necessarily true in a Juvenile home. This kinda stuff never really got into the public eye back in the day, which in turn made it easier for it to happen. There are literally thousands of stories of this kind of abuse in both juvenile homes and residential schools.
R.I.P Brad Renfro!!!
dude...this movie is sooo good....i love it!...the end is really good..and shakes is hot!!both young and old..if u have read tha book please tell me if its tha same or not..and should i read it? thx:)
This movie's gonna be on in.. 8 mins ;]
Ive seen it many times before, but it never gets boring.
I really really like this kind of movies (not what is happened to the boys though), but does anyone know more movies like this?
Saw this film when I was real young. Scarred me for life.
read the book 3 years ago. i was wary of the movie bc sometimes well they suck. but i like this one.
i wish someone had the movie downloaded on here does anyone know if it is?..... and is the book also called sleepers or does it have a different name cause i'd like to read it
The book was awesome.
Poor rizzo..This movie is a classic.
Tears kept rolling out towards the end.......
Love Jason Patric. This is an awesome movie.
Outstanding movie !
Brilliant film among my top 5 of all time.
I love it when witchi tai to plays when john spots nokes again in the bar most gripping scene in the film in my opinion
I agree,, I also thought those two guys would go on to bigger acting careers-- didn't seem to happen.
A very great underrated film
Because this movie was so well done, I can't say it was enjoyable. I was disturbing! After I watched it I wish i hadn't. The sad thing is that these things happen in real life.
the best book ive ever read
Film stupendo...intrpretazione grandiosa di Bob,fantastico Bacon,divertente Hoffman e magistrale Gasman
This is one of my favorite movies.
Incredible movie.
this is my favorite movie of all times
On the TV right now - awesome!:)
uuuuhh also Vittorio Gassman.... great actor
Dustin Hoffman is brilliant here...
King Benny kicked ass in this and I thought ti was so underrated.I t deserved a lot more than it got.
Watching right now,those kid actors hold their own!
yeah. seriously. i rented and watched it like last month. then made my friend watch it. lol. awesome movie, as sad as it is!
Love Jason Patric.
sorry to bother you (again) but does it hav the other boys in it? Michael, John and Tommy. They do make the half the sleepers in it thanks
@StlyDutch I said the same thing. And for that you know he is a great actor! One of my all time favs.
Made me cry like a baby.
RIP Brad Renfro
Holy crap. I just found a movie I need to see.
amazing movie!
the cast is amazing! but even if in usa is not famous, Vittorio Gasmann, the italian boss in the movie, is a top-actor...RIP.
Wow so good
Very very good movie
kevin bacon is awesome! simply awesome!
This movie is great!
Iv got this move on DVD and when the shit from my past creeps up. Ill go and watch it. I fill better but sad at the same time.
Brad Renfro ... he was such a good actor :'(
book was the best i ever read
This is the hardest movie that i watched.
Kevin Bacon's best performance ever. I hated his role. But I thought he stole the show in this one.
My history teacher told me about this, looks good
What a movie , amazing
This is the kind of movie you do with an awesome cast like this, not fuckups like "Ocean's 11" or stuff like that.
SO glad this movie got made...
Thank you for making this movie!!!
Finally talking about boys being molested! THANK YOU!!!!
yo bard pitt was actually good in this mvie better than the benjamin button , amazing film, oscarworthy.
