Long before faith-based films became a regular feature of mainstream movie theaters, there was "The Cross and The Switchblade," the story of Pastor David Wilkerson and gang member Nicky Cruz.
The Rev. David Wilkerson (Pat Boone) works with a juvenile delinquent (Erik Estrada) and his gang in a New York slum.
(The age limit to watch)
This film is based on David Wilkerson's book which carries the same title, “The Cross and the Switchblade.” This movie is not for those under twelve.
Although not gratuitous, there are some scenes of blood as a result of the gangs' rumbles, which include using baseball bats, blades, and chains.
