100 Centre Street is an American legal drama created by Sidney Lumet and starring Alan Arkin, Val Avery, Bobby Cannavale, Joel de la Fuente and Paula Devicq.

The tale of a young man's struggle to establish a racial identity. Blending elements of '60s agit-prop political theater with surreal storytelling, the film provides a glimpse into the mind of its protagonist during an intense psychological and emotional breakdown. As an elaborately constructed fantasy world clashes with a past that haunts him, he suffers through a downward spiral as he loses a grip on reality.
