Legend is a 2015 British crime thriller written and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film is adapted from John Pearson's book The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins,[6][7] which deals with the rise and fall of the Kray twins; the relationship that bound them together, and charts their gruesome career to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969.[8][9]

This is Helgeland's fifth feature film. Tom Hardy, Emily Browning, David Thewlis, and Christopher Eccleston star with Chazz Palminteri, Paul Bettany, Colin Morgan, Tara Fitzgerald, and Taron Egerton as well as singer Duffy featured in supporting roles.

In the late 1950s, Reggie Kray is a former boxer who has become an important part of the criminal underground in London. At the start of the film, his twin brother Ronald is locked-up in psychiatric prison for pathological violence and psychiatric instability. Reggie manages to pull strings to obtain the premature release of his brother, who is then quickly discharged from psychiatric prison. The two brothers then unite their efforts in controlling a large part of London's criminal underworld.

One of their first joint efforts is to muscle-in on the control of a local night club using extortion and brutal violence. Reggie manages to start a relationship with Frances, the sister of his driver, and this leads to marriage; however, he is imprisoned for a previous criminal conviction, which he cannot evade. While Reggie is in prison, Ronald's psychopathic problems and violence lead to severe setbacks at the night club. The club is almost forced to close after he scares away most of the customers. When Reggie is finally released from prison, the two brothers have an all-out fist fight on the first night after Reggie's release, but they manage to partially patch things up.

Back together again, the brothers are approached with a crime syndicate deal from the United States, coming from Angelo Bruno of Philadelphia on behalf of Meyer Lansky, who makes a fifty-fifty deal with Reggie to split London's underground gambling profits in exchange for local protection from the Kray brothers. Initially, this system is highly lucrative for the Kray brothers. However, Ronald's psychopathic violence continues to cause problems with Scotland Yard, which opens a full investigation on the Kray brothers. Reggie begins to abuse Frances, and she leaves him, eventually committing suicide with an overdose of prescription drugs. Their criminal activities continue, and the brothers are unable to contain the escalating Scotland Yard investigation by Detective Superintendent Leonard "Nipper" Read, who soon arrests Ronald. The final scene shows a police squad breaking down the door to Reggie's apartment in order to apprehend him.

The closing captions indicate both brothers receiving criminal convictions for murder. They died several years apart, Ronnie from a heart attack in 1995, and Reggie from cancer in 2000.
