Die Faust im Nacken (1954)
Marlon Brando spielt die Hauptrolle des Terry Malloy, einem gescheiterten Preisboxer, der dank der Beziehungen seines Bruders Charley, ein Anwalt für eine korrupte Dockarbeiter-Gewerkschaft, als Botenjunge für die Mafia angestellt wird. Nachdem er einen anderen Hafenarbeiter und Freund in den Tod gelockt hat, um ihn von einer Aussage gegen den Vorarbeiter Johnny Friendly abzuhalten, erwecken die Bitten der Schwester des Toten und eines engagierten Priesters Terrys Schuldbewusstsein. Trotzdem er durch Friendlys Schläger brutal zugerichtet wird, bewegt die Liebe Terry dazu, Vergeltung zu üben, indem er die Untersuchung einer Verbrechenskommission gegen die korrupte Dockarbeiter-Gewerkschaft unterstützt.
