Chains of Gold is a 1991 Made-for-TV crime drama/action film starring and co-written by John Travolta. It was directed by Rod Holcomb and included one of the early performances of Joseph Lawrence, who was nominated for Young Artist Award for his role in the movie.

The film was released as a direct-to-cable in United States, and had theatrical distribution in Germany. Producers released it to the DVD after seven years from release of the film on December 15, 1998.

The film was shot in Miami, Florida, USA. It is the only film written by twice nominated Academy Award actor John Travolta.

Travolta appears as Scott Barnes, an alcoholic turned social worker who trying to rescue a kid named Tommy (played by Lawrence) from a brutal, vicious Crack Street Gang when he finds out he has begun selling crack in an organization called YIP, run by Carlos (Benjamin Bratt). Hector Elizondo has a part as Lieutenant Ortega.

The opening credits state that Chains of Gold is "based off of actual events",though details of the actual events themselves remain difficult to find and come across.
