A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian store owner. Two police detectives who are also lovers. An African-American television director and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop. A middle-aged Korean couple…they live in Los Angeles. And during the next 36 hours, they will all collide in a hotbed of racial tension, a journey toward striking, common conclusion, which succeeds at being both cathartic and unsettling.

"Hyper-articulate and breathtakingly intelligent… and always brazenly alive."

- David Denby, New Yorker

"Audiences may cringe as Haggis taps into the kind of offensive images that surreptitiously seep into the brains of even the most open-minded.  His point is simple: no one is immune."

- Claudia Puig, USA Today

"Haggis writes with such directness and such a good ear for everyday speech that the characters seem real and plausible after only a few words.  His cast is uniformly strong; the actors sidestep clichés and make their characters particular."

- Robert Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"The stunning, must-see drama Crash is proof that words have not lost the ability to shock in our anesthetized society."

- Liza Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
