Do the Right Thing (1989)
Es ist heiß, unerträglich heiß in den Straßen von New York. In Harlem steigen mit den Temperaturen auch die Aggressionen. Rapmusik und lautstarke Auseinandersetzungen geben den Ton an. Im Mittelpunkt der Konflikte stehen die Pizzeria des Viertels und ihr Besitzer, ein streitbarer Italiener. Ein falsches Wort genügt und in der Sommerhitze bahnt sich die mühsam unterdrückte Gewalt ihren Weg…
