Summer Of Sam -

is a 1999 crime drama directed by Spike Lee that explores the sweltering, paranoid atmosphere of New York City during the 1977 "Son of Sam" serial killings. Unlike a traditional true-crime biopic, the film focuses on a group of Italian-American residents in the Bronx and how the mounting fear and heatwave cause their relationships and community trust to disintegrate.
