Description

SYNOPSIS: Seduced by money. Enslaved by fear. Freed by friendship! Based on an incredible true story, CHAINS OF GOLD charts the gripping tale of a drug empire built on child slavery... and the one-man war that shut it down. Starring John Travolta in an electrifying performance, along with Marilu Henner, Bernie Casey, Benjamin Bratt, Hector Elizonno and Joey Lawrence, CHAINS OF GOLD is a hard-hitting, pulse-pounding thriller! When 13-year-old Tommy (Lawrence) unwittingly becomes ensnared in a Mafia-run child drug-traffiking operation, he reaches out to his friend and caseworker, Scott Barnes (Travolta), to help him quit. But when Scott learns that the organisation murders anyone who tries to defect, he realises that the only way to get Tommy out... is to go in to get him. Posing as a drug dealer to infiltrate their ranks, Scott soon discovers that Tommy isn't the only victim; hundreds of children have been abducted... and freeing all is going to take a miracle! Scott realises that he is their only hope for escape, but can he destroy the organisation before it destroys him?
