One of the Academy Award winner for Best Movies is the film Crash, whose plot is set in LA and is about two days in the lives of various, disparate people as series of interconnecting vignettes. People of various ethic and racial backgrounds collide with each other to create these vignettes, so everyone learns a lesson from the collisions and changes. Crash takes a provocative, brave look at the complexities of racial tolerance among Americans and shows us good and ugly sides of humanity.

Several stories interweave for two days involving in a collection of interrelated characters, and the problems each encounter. These include a black police detective with a drugged out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the distracted district attorney and his irritated wife, a racist LAPD cop (caring for a sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a successful black Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the LAPD cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a Hispanic locksmith and his lovely little daughter. One example of how these characters are interweaved is portrayed on the first night, where a white couple, a socialite (Sandra Bullock) and district attorney (Brandon Fraser) are carjacked at gunpoint by two black teenagers. At home, the wife takes out her anger on the Hispanic locksmith who is changing the door locks to their home. She thinks the locksmith is a gang member because of his appearance and tattoos. The wife's conduct shows the racial tension.
