About Streets of Gold
Alek is an immigrant from the Soviet Union who was a talented boxer in his day, but he was not allowed on the Soviet national team because he was a Jew. Depressed and discouraged, he meets two young amateur boxers. As their coach, he trains them for glory.
Directed by Joe Roth, Streets of Gold leans on a strong ensemble — Klaus Maria Brandauer, Adrian Pasdar, Wesley Snipes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
