Synopsis: Beneath all the glitter, the people of Los Angeles are slaves to fears and prejudices. The more they try to lock up their houses and emotions, the more fatefully they collide with one another. Poor, rich, cops, criminals, white, coloured... The list is endless. During a period of two days complete strangers leave their marks on one another's lives as love turns to shame, justice to injustice and protection to violence. Crash is nevertheless a film about hope, since it shows that even bad people are capable of extreme virtue.
