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.
