It would seem that life would end when a man went to prison, but for Malcolm Little it was a wake-up call. While incarcerated, he learned about the tenets of Islam and became a member of the Black Nationalist group, the Nation of Islam. He quickly rose to national prominence as their most influential figure... which ultimately led to his downfall.

Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, and Angela Bassett star in Malcolm X.
