Two Bits is a 1995 American drama film directed by James Foley and starring Al Pacino, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Jerry Barone.
It is written by Joseph Stefano, who considered the film a personal project, with a semi-biographical story.
The title refers to the American slang term for a quarter dollar: "two bits".
It is a hot summer day in 1933 in South Philadelphia, where 12-year-old Gennaro lives with his widowed mother and ailing grandfather.
He has promised the quarter to Gennaro so that the boy can buy a ticket to a plush new movie theater.
