“A hard cop and a soft dame in a hard knuckle thriller!”
Police Sergeant Bannion (Glenn Ford) is in the middle of investigating the apparent suicide of a corrupt cop when he’s suddenly ordered to stop and “The Big Heat” is on.
Driven to unravel the mystery, Bannion continues probing until an explosion meant for him, kills his wife. He resigns from the force and soon learns that behind it all is the powerful underworld led by Mike Lagana (Alexander Scourby) and his cold-blooded henchman, Vince Stone (Lee Marvin). When Stone’s girl Debby (Gloria Grahame) makes a play for Bannion, Stone retaliates and the two square off in a life-or-death confrontation.
Fritz Lang’s iconic film noir masterpiece is an uncompromising exploration of corruption and violence at the dark heart of small-town America.
