"Dateline, New York City, 1899" "EXTRA! EXTRA! NEWSBOY STRIKE!""Fed up by unfair treatment from newspaper owners, streetwise Jack Kelly and booksmart David Jacobs rally the other newsboys of the city in a strike. The big bosses, led by millionaire Joseph Pulitzer, fight back, replacing the 'newsies' with scab workers. Tensions mount, violence threatens, and Jack must seek not only an end to the strike but also a way to stay out of the Refuge, a horrible boys' home from which he makes a daring escape. Based on the actual newsboy strike of 1899, Newsies is a gripping story of a turbulent time. See the film, then...READ ALL ABOUT IT!"
