American History X is a film directed by Tony Kaye and
written by David McKenna, about a former neo-nazi skinhead who
attempts to stop his younger brother from following in his old footsteps. The
film stars Edward Norton as Derek Vinyard, Edward Furlong as Danny Vinyard,
Beverly D’Angelo as Doris Vinyard, Jennifer Lien as Davina Vinyard, and Avery
Brooks as Dr. Bob Sweeney. There is a much larger cast, but the film revolves
around the five characters these actors play.
