These are a story just about criminal of that period, centering around a conflict between the "native" criminal underworld associated using a Know-Nothings and immigrant gangs controlled by Tammany Hall.

Patch praised for a accuracy around reproducing costumes & a general environment of a mid-1800 Up to date York City, a film has been criticized for greatly exaggerating the violence in the rumble & city riots, & as well for historical inaccuracies (for instance, Bill the Butcher never sleep in the Five Points and died much earliest than a film depicts).
