Plot
Los Angeles in the early '50s. A booming city anxious to shed its small town skin. Through a combination of hype, the inception of television and post-war population explosion, L.A. is being touted as a potential utopia and metropolis for the future. That's the image. The reality is something different. From the staid mansions of Hancock Park to the sizzling Trocadero Club on the Sunset Strip (where crime lord Mickey Cohen buys drinks and the D.A.), it's a city of corruption, double dealings and dangerous passions. Dark, brutal, tender and powerful. L.A. Confidential is a gripping, intricate portrait of a remarkable place and time. It is a story whose characters reflect the city in which they live ... characters whose outward images are often in direct conflict with their inner reality ... characters whose repressed passions threaten everything they have or think they know.
