Hurricane Streets (also known as Hurricane) is a 1997 American coming-of-age drama film directed and written by Morgan J. Freeman in his feature directorial debut. It shows the story of Marcus (Brendan Sexton III), a teenage inner-city 'street kid' in New York City whose internal conflicts include running with a gang who want to move up in more serious crimes and a girl he meets (Isidra Vega) who tries to steer him clear from a potential life in prison. What Marcus really wants is to move out of the city to New Mexico and gain space.
