The Harder They Come (1972)
Ein junger Schwarzer träumt in den Slums von Kingston von der großen Popsängerkarriere. Ausgebeutet von Plattenkönigen und Rauschgiftdealern legt er sich mit den großen Bossen und der Polizei an, läuft mordend Amok und macht Schlagzeilen. Seine Platte wird ein Hit: „The harder they come, the deeper they fall …“
