    Frustrated with the increasing rate of crime in 1970s New York, Curtis Sliwa and his band of McDonald's fry cooks decided to take citizen safety into their own hands -- forming 'The Guardian Angels'. Embraced by counter-culture and shunned by authorities, the group of 13 unarmed young men were quickly propelled to fame and their numbers grew into the thousands. 37-years on, the movement's leader, Sliwa, opens up his dramatic story of life, death and risk while patrolling the dangerous subways and grim streets of the Bronx and beyond.
