Marlon Brando plays Terry Malloy, a retired prize-fighter who has started running errands for the Dockers Union, a mob-controlled organisation that has intimidated the workers into silence. When Malloy finds himself involved in the murder of Joey Doyle, and becomes involved with the dead man's sister Edie (Eva Marie Saint), he begins to wonder whether he too should stand up and be heard.

On the Waterfront explores the difficulties and corruptions of working stiffs with a realism, sensitivity and intelligence that has seldom been matched since.
