Synopsis
An indelible look at waterfront crime and corruption, Marlon Brando leads Elia Kazan’s American classic with a bravado that would define the rest of his career. Terry Malloy (Brando), a one-time prizefighter-turned-dock-worker, becomes embroiled in the criminal underbelly by his unscrupulous union superior, testing the limits of morality in the face of self-sufficiency. Winner of eight Academy Awards® — as well as a nomination for Leonard Bernstein’s sole musical score for film — ON THE WATERFRONT continues to display Kazan’s influence on modern performance and the conventions of cinema. Featuring an all-star supporting cast including Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, and Rod Steiger.
