Issues of race and gender cause a group of strangers in Los Angeles to physically and emotionally collide in this drama from director and screenwriter Paul Haggis!. Graham (Don Cheadle) is a police detective whose brother is a street criminal, and it hurts him to know his mother cares more about his ne'er-do-well brother than him!. Graham's partner is Ria (Jennifer Esposito), who is also his girlfriend, though she has begun to bristle at his emotional distance, as well as his occasional insensitivity over the fact he's African-American and she's Hispanic!. Rick (Brendan Fraser) is an L!.A!. district attorney whose wife, Jean (Sandra Bullock), makes little secret of her fear and hatred of people unlike herself!. Jean's worst imaginings about people of color are confirmed when her SUV is carjacked by two African-American men -- Anthony (Chris Bridges, aka Ludacris), who dislikes white people as much as Jean hates blacks, and Peter (Larenz Tate), who is more open minded!. Cameron (Terrence Howard) is a well-to-do African-American television producer with a beautiful wife, Christine (Thandie Newton)!. While coming home from a party, Cameron and Christine are pulled over by Officer Ryan (Matt Dillon), who subjects them to a humiliating interrogation (and her to an inappropriate search) while his new partner, Officer Hansen (Ryan Phillippe), looks on!. Daniel (Michael Pena) is a hard-working locksmith and dedicated father who discovers that his looks don't lead many of his customers to trust him!. And Farhad (Shaun Toub) is a Middle Eastern shopkeeper who is so constantly threatened in the wake of the 9/11 attacks that he decided he needs a gun to defend his family!. Crash was the first directorial project for award-winning television and film writer Haggis!. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Rick Cabot
Rick Cabot (Brendan Fraser) is the white District Attorney of Los Angeles!. He and his wife Jean are carjacked by Anthony and Peter, both of whom are black!. Subsequently the Brentwood resident tries to save his political career by reassuring voters that he is racially sensitive!. His character is never depicted as openly bigoted, making his racial stance ambiguous!.
Jean Cabot
Jean Cabot (Sandra Bullock) is Rick's wife, whose racial prejudices escalate after the carjacking!. At the end of the film, following an accident in her home, she realizes that the person who is the kindest and most helpful to her is Maria, her Hispanic maid, while her snobby friends are too busy with shallow pursuits to help her out!.
Anthony
Anthony (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) is an African American inner-city car thief who steals vehicles for a bigoted chop shop owner!. He believes that society is unfairly biased against blacks, and at one point in the film he justifies his actions by claiming he would never hurt another black person!. However, Anthony tells Peter to shoot a black man, Cameron, after they try to carjack his car and he fights back!. A disgusted Cameron kicks Anthony out of his car and says "You embarrass me!. You embarrass yourself!." Towards the end of the movie, Anthony steals a van which - unknown to him at the time - was full of trafficked people from South East Asia!. He refers to these immigrants disparagingly as Chinamen, but when the owner of the chop shop offers him $500 per head for the immigrants with the intention of selling them on, Anthony refuses!. Instead, he lets them out onto the Asian district of LA in the closing scenes of the movie!. Anthony gives them all of the money that is in his pocket – $40!.
Peter Waters
Peter Waters (Larenz Tate) is Anthony's friend and partner in crime!. He is also Detective Waters' younger brother!. Like Anthony, he is black, but he humorously scoffs at Anthony's paranoia over racism!. He also likes the Los Angeles Kings hockey team!. Peter is shot to death by Officer Hansen (Ryan Phillippe), who picks him up in the valley hours after their failed carjacking of Cameron's Lincoln Navigator and mistakenly shoots him after assuming he is drawing a gun!. In reality he was reaching into his pocket to show the cop a figure of Saint Christopher, identical to the one Officer Hansen had stuck to his dashboard!.
Graham Waters
Graham Waters (Don Cheadle) is an African American detective in the Los Angeles Police Department!. He is disconnected from his poor family, which consists of his drug-addicted mother and criminal younger brother!. He promises his mother that he will find his younger brother, but he is preoccupied with a case concerning a suspected racist white cop who shot a corrupt black cop!. Flanagan (William Fichtner) an assistant district attorney, offers Graham the chance to further his career in exchange for withholding evidence that could possibly have helped the white cop's case!. Flanagan also tries to convince Graham that the black community needs to see the black cop as a hero, and not as a drug dealer, as Graham suspects that he may have been!. Graham is both offended and opposed, and is ready to storm out, when Flanagan mentions that there is a warrant out for Graham's brother's arrest, and that this is his third felony, which carries a life sentence in the state of California!. Graham makes a very difficult personal decision to withhold evidence and possibly corrupt a case in order to have the District Attorney forget about his brother!. That brother is eventually revealed to be Peter, the hitchhiker who is killed by Officer Hansen!.
Ria
Ria (Jennifer Esposito) is a Latina detective, as well as Graham's partner and girlfriend!. When a phone call from Graham's mother interrupts his sexual romp with Ria, she becomes upset with Graham for being disrespectful towards his mother and subsequently showing himself to be racially insensitive towards Hispanics!. She is shown to be racist toward Asians, as she criticizes an Asian woman's driving!.
Officer John Ryan
Officer John Ryan (Matt Dillon) is a bigoted white police officer who physically molests Christine, a woman with African American heritage, under the pretense of searching for a weapon after pulling over her vehicle!. This causes his partner, Officer Hansen, to believe his partner has racist tendencies!. Meanwhile, Ryan is trying to get help for his father, who possibly suffers from prostate cancer but has been diagnosed with a bladder infection, despite the ineffectiveness of treatment!. His anger manifests in prejudice, as is evident when he indicates a racist attitude towards his father's doctor's secretary!. His racial prejudices seem to stem from the destructive impact that local affirmative action policies had on his father's business!. After Officer Hansen requests solo patrol, Ryan is partnered with a Hispanic-American with whom he seems to get along!. Ryan later puts his own life on the line to save Christine, the woman he molested earlier, from certain death in a fiery car wreck!.
Lieutenant Dixon
Lieutenant Dixon (Keith David) is Officers Ryan and Hansen's shift Lieutenant!. He is African American!. When Hansen requests to change partners, Dixon states that doing so because of Officer Ryan's racism will reflect poorly on their unit, and Dixon in particular for commanding him!. Furthermore, Dixon explains that all the work he did to get a ranking position in an environment as racist as the LAPD will backfire on him personally if Hansen gives this reason for changing partners!. He suggests that Hansen ride in a solo car for reasons of "uncontrollable flatulence" as a means of getting away from Officer Ryan and not making Dixon look bad for supervising Ryan!.
Cameron Thayer
Cameron Thayer (Terrence Howard) is a black television director!. He witnesses Officer Ryan molesting his wife and later realizes that the producers of his television show propagate racist stereotypes about black people!. In an emotional moment, he fights off Anthony and Peter when they try to steal his car, takes away Anthony's gun, and argues fiercely with armed white police officers!. Just when it is very likely that he will be shot to death, Officer Hansen intervenes on his behalf and prevents any outbreak of violence!.
Christine Thayer
Christine Thayer (Thandie Newton) is Cameron's wife!. She is molested by Officer Ryan after she and Cameron are pulled over!. She becomes furious with her husband because he does not act to defend her!. The two insult each other over their upbringings – as both Cameron and Christine have grown up in more privileged environments than many other African Americans!. The next day she is trapped in an overturned car due to a car accident and, by a twist of fate, Officer Ryan is the man who willingly endangers himself to save her life!.

Daniel seeks a safe environment for his young daughter, Lara, who had a bullet go through her window in their previous home!.

Farhad shoots at Lara and Daniel but they escape unhurt, because there were blanks in the gun!. Lara believes that this is due to the protective powers of the "cloak!."
