Blood In Blood Out (also known as Bound by Honor and Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor) is a 1993 American epic crime drama film directed by Taylor Hackford that has become a cult classic film among the Mexican-American community.[3][4] It follows the intertwining lives of three Chicano relatives from 1972 to 1984.

Blood In Blood Out was filmed in 1991 throughout Los Angeles and inside California's San Quentin State Prison.
