Terry Malloy(Marlon Brando) is a retired boxer who lives in a world where the rules are simple: You don't hear nothing, you don't say nothing and when the union bosses tell you to borrow money from them you do it so you can continue to get work on the docks and make a meagre living. When he meets the sister of a young man that was lured to his death for talking to the crime commission that is investigating labour corruption on the waterfront, he starts to question if this is what life is really supposed to be about.

Brando's academy award winning performance highlights this classic tale of an underdog struggling to come to terms with questions of morality and self-preservation.
