Newsies

Newsies is a 1992 musical film, it told the story of a group of news boys or "newsies" in 1899 New York City, who lead a strike against two of the city's biggest newspapers and their publishers. The film was an ambitous attempt to revive classic-style big-budget musical films. The film was panned by critics and audiences upon release in theaters, but it has developed a strong and loyal cult-following.
