Gangster Emilio Mendez (Robby Benson) knows everything about the gritty streets of East Los Angeles… except how to leave them. His brutal days with the ruthless gang the Aztecas have taught him many violent lessons, and now he is struggling to learn how to begin a new life with the woman he loves. Based on an original screenplay by Evan Hunter, writer of The Blackboard Jungle, Walk Proud is a gripping story of hope, redemption and new beginnings.
