Five Corners is a 1987 American independent crime drama film, directed by Tony Bill, written by John Patrick Shanley, and starring Jodie Foster, Tim Robbins, John Turturro, and Rodney Harvey. The film depicts 48 hours in the lives of a group of four young New Yorkers in the 1960s.

Five Corners was released in limited theatres in the United States on January 22, 1988. The film received generally positive reviews from critics but was a financial disappointment, grossing $969,205 in its limited run against a budget of $5.5 million. At the 4th Independent Spirit Awards, Foster won for Best Female Lead, while Turturro was nominated for Best Supporting Male.[3]
