New York Times article on Frank Lucas and the movie.
Quoted: It was the early 1970s, and every week nearly four dozen American soldiers were returning home from Vietnam in flag-draped coffins. Frank Lucas, who ruled a crime empire in Newark and Harlem, had a plan: smuggle the purest Asian heroin he could find into New York, stashed inside those coffins.

Enjoyed it, although I tend to like "based on true story" sorts of movies. Did not know about Frank Lucas or the rampant police corruption of the time until watching this.
