synopsis
Stony, Cleo, Tisean and Frankie have been through a lot together while growing up in the projects of Los Angeles. They've been scammed by sleazy employers, slammed by heartless boyfriends, and slapped around by neighborhood cops. No matter how tough the going got--when one found herself in trouble, she had three life-long friends backing her up. Now comes the ultimate test. A tragic chain of events has brought these inseparable companions closer than ever. With their world in turmoil and their backs against the wall, they decide to seize their fortune--literally. Virtually overnight, the women spiral into an uncharacteristic world of crime. Targeting the banks of LA, the quartet rob the city's most vulnerable financial institutions. Flush with cash, they discover that easy money can inch them towards their elusive goal of escaping from the projects. But with the police hot on their trail, breaking out of prison may be easier than busting free from the 'hood.

Queen Latifah comes out blasting in this Sisters n the Hood saga as one of four besieged black women in the Los Angeles projects who decide to stop taking racist shit and start robbing banks. Latifah's Cleo has seen her friends suffer. Being black has cost good-girl Frankie (Vivica Fox) a teller's job. Shy Tisean (Kimberly Elise) may lose her son. Stoic Stony (Jada Pinkett) has watched her innocent kid brother get shot and killed by a white cop (John C. McGinley).
