Sins of Our Youth is a 2014 thriller/drama film directed by Gary Entin and starring Lucas Till, Joel Courtney, and Mitchel Musso. The film is a cautionary tale that highlights a new generation in the United States that is desensitized by an oversaturation of violence in the mainstream media and who have ready access to firearms.
Plot
[edit]Four teenagers, Scott, David, Carlo, and Tyler, accidentally kill a younger boy while shooting off assault weapons recreationally, and make perilous decisions in the aftermath of the murder.
In a moment of desperation, paranoia, and fear that their lives are over, the four teenagers struggle to find a way out. They drunkenly construct a plan reminiscent of a video-game plot. Later, Scott shoots and kills Tyler at a school dance, but is shot and bleeds to death. Police surround the remaining two and Carlo commits suicide. The police think David is reaching for a gun and kill him, only for it to be revealed David was reaching for an inhaler.
