Plot
A couple loves heroin as much as they love each other in Jerry Schatzberg 's grim drug drama. After an illegal abortion at the behest of her faithless lover ( Raul Julia ), lost innocent Helen ( Kitty Winn ) finds solace with small-time crook Bobby ( Al Pacino ), a regular in Manhattan's "Needle Park." As Bobby shows her around his Upper West Side world, the two become inseparable. When Helen realizes that Bobby is a full-blown junkie, she joins him in addiction, and their downward spiral begins in earnest. Weathering overdoses, prostitution, betrayals, and a "panic" after a major bust, the pair manages to stick together, the habit sealing their fate. — Lucia Bozzola
