After being falsely accused of kidnapping, gas station owner Joe Wilson (Spencer Tracy) is put in a small-town jail and becomes the focus of a vigilante mob set on lynching him. After a stunning escape, the believed-dead Joe connives a fitting revenge. Striking drama from director Fritz Lang (his American debut) criticizes mob mentality and features superior performances from Tracy, Sylvia Sidney, Walter Abel, Edward Ellis, and Walter Brennan; look for "Toto" as Wilson's dog. 92 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English DTS HD mono Master Audio; Subtitles: English (SDH).
