Directed by Nick Gomez and executive produced by cinematic icon Spike Lee, this 1995 hood classic offers an uncompromising and gritty portrayal of youth culture in 1990s Newark, New Jersey—a city then notorious as the "car theft capital of the world." The film stars Sharron Corley as Jason and Gabriel Casseus as Midget, two local teenagers whose favorite daily pastime is stealing cars and joyriding through the city streets.

Seamlessly capturing the raw energy, desperation, and coming-of-age realities of urban youth, New Jersey Drive reflects deep social issues, survival, and the inescapable consequences of street life.
