The early years of the most notorious criminals Britain has ever produced are portrayed in visceral brutality in THE RISE OF THE KRAYS. London, 1961: Ronnie and Reggie Kray begin a reign of terror that would endure and define London s East End for years to come. From protection rackets to members clubs, from brutal street brawls, arson via blackmail extending all the way up to the Cabinet Office, the Krays rained red on anyone who crossed them.
