Kurzbeschreibung
"24 Stunden in einem Pariser Vorort. 24 Stunden, um eine Lösung gegen den Hass zu finden. Die Polizei schlägt den 16jährigen Abdel während eines Verhörs so brutal zusammen, daß er zwischen Leben und Tod schwebt. Jugendliche ziehen daraufhin, blind vor Haß auf dieses System, randalierend durch die Straßen. Mit dabei sind drei Freunde: Said, Hubert und Vinz. Und da ist der Vierte im Bunde: Eine 44er Smith & Wesson."

Vinz (Vincent Cassel), who is Jewish, Hubert (Hubert Kounde), who is Black, and Said (Said Taghmaoui), who is Arabic, are young men from the lower rungs of the French economic ladder; they have no jobs, few prospects, and no productive way to spend their time. They hang out and wander the streets as a way of filling their days and are sometimes caught up in frequent skirmishes between the police and other disaffected youth. One day, a street riot breaks out after police seriously injure an Arab student; the three friends are arrested and questioned, and it is learned that a policeman lost a gun in the chaos. However, what they don't know is that Vinz picked it up and has it in his possession, and when Vinz, Hubert, and Said get into a scuffle with a group of racist skinheads, the circumstances seem poised for tragedy. Actress Jodie Foster was so impressed with La Haine when she saw it at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival that she helped to arrange American distribution for the film through her production company, Egg Pictures.
