The Twin Gangsters Behind Tom Hardy's Legend | The Krays
The Krays by Richard John Taylor revisits the chilling legacy of Ronnie and Reggie Kray, the notorious twin brothers who ruled London's East End with ruthless violence and undeniable charm.
Blending rare footage, firsthand testimonies, and dramatic reconstructions, the film offers an intimate look into their dark rise from promising young boxers to feared gangland legends.
Steve Wraith, once a fascinated teenager, began corresponding with the Krays and was soon drawn into their inner circle. Reg took an instant liking to Steve, inviting him to visit Ron in Broadmoor and eventually entrusting him with their business interests outside prison walls.
But this apparent honor masked a terrifying reality — a stark lesson in the Krays' capacity for manipulation and menace, even behind bars.
Featuring personal letters, recorded phone calls, and new exclusive interviews with insiders like Charles Bronson, Maureen Flanagan, and Dave Courtney, The Krays delivers a raw, personal, and haunting portrait of Britain's most infamous gangsters.
