In "Set It Off," Stony, Cleo, Frankie, and T.T. commit crimes together to help better their lives.

Friends who rob banks together, stay together. Though "Set It Off" was released 26 years ago, its themes of racism, police brutality, and inequality, remain painfully relevant today. At the center of it all are Stony, Cleo, Frankie, and T.T., who come together to rob a bank and better their lives.

"The film fully recognizes and acknowledges how the bond of a deep friendship with other Black women can be necessary and life-affirming. To have fellowship and camaraderie with women you would not just kill for, but die for," wrote Sherronda J. Brown for the Black Youth Project.
