Where was A Most Violent Year filmed
A Most Violent Year
Year: 2014
Film was filmed to evoke early-1980s New York, following an immigrant entrepreneur and his family as they attempt to grow a heating-oil business during a period marked by high crime, corruption, and pressure from competitors and authorities. The production uses cold-season city infrastructure, traffic arteries, and industrial-feeling exteriors to support a grounded, tense atmosphere focused on risk, ambition, and moral compromise.

Locations
Connection Ramp for the Queensboro Bridge
In movie
Scene where a vehicle-driven moment that uses the ramp and surrounding elevated approaches to emphasize speed, pressure, and the danger of doing business on the streets, with the hard geometry of the roadway and wintery city feel reinforcing the story’s tense, realistic tone.
Real
Scene was shot The Queensboro Bridge (Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) approach area around Queens Plaza is a major traffic interchange with multi-lane ramps, concrete barriers, and elevated roadways linking Manhattan and Queens. It is a heavily used commuting corridor with constant vehicle flow, clear sightlines for roadway shots, and a distinctly utilitarian NYC infrastructure look.
