Two young kids in love, one young graffiti artist and the other a foster-child, find trouble on the mean streets on the other side of the river in New York City. Officer Charles Banks finds young Danny tagging subway cars and then catches Teiresa selling drugs for another mislead teen, Kirk. The officer, instead of turning both of them in, gives both teens a chance to make more of their lives together. Changing their ways turns out to be more challenging than first thought.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
GSGambrell I have seen this in 1991 when my Mom recorded it with her VCR, as well as YouTube. This is a great movie.
YouKnowMyName68 Yes, I remember this movie when it aired on television, can't remember what station, in San Francisco. I am a San Franciscan and grew up and went to school in the Mission District in the early, mid, and late 70s and to see this strange thing of a young kid, close to my age, doing this weird act of spray painting on the side of a train did not reflect what was happening in the bay area. This is the days before the media hit everybody else onthe head with the concept of graffiti and related arts. I enjoyed, nevertheless, because I could see that the young person the actor( I recongized from the Disney films, 'Escape from witch mountain and its enjoyable sequel) was portraying was earnest, although I could not understand the earnestness in regards to doing this thing on the train. And being from the bay area, there was no kid doing this. NONE. Which, as an aside, I do not look to artists from the bay area, with too much admiration. This film, as a parting commentary, I enjoyed very much and remember fondly from the days when I was a younger age. I would like to have a copy of my own for this reason. Thank you.
MarkD-19 Hello to anyone reading this!I first saw this movie on TV when it aired in 1982. I loved it, and the story has stayed with me all these years.I've been desperately looking for a copy of the film. If you can send me a copy of "Dreams Don't Die," please please please e-mail me and let me know. I'll gladly reimburse you financially in exchange for a copy of the movie, even a poorly dubbed copy!Thanks, Mark
tmone dreams dont die is one of the best graffiti movies with a story behind it unlike other graffiti movies .. takes place in 1982. all the art work was done by the legendary dondi... its hard to get this movie since it was a made for tv movie.
