Chains of Gold is a hard-hitting story of a teen who has made a big mistake, and the one man willing to risk everything to keep that mistake from being fatal. Social worker Scott Barnes (John Travolta) befriends 13-year-old Tommy Burke (Joey Lawrence), who's involved with a crack-dealing gang. He is desperate to quit, but the gang has other ideas...they kill anyone who tries to leave. When the police offer no help, Scott launches a desperate attempt to rescue the boy. With the help of his ex-girlfriend (Marilu Henner), he infiltrates the inner circle of the gang, putting his life on the line to get Tommy out. (Kino Lorber)
