F.I.S.T.
Action superstar Sylvester Stallone is nothing short of sensational as he takes on mobsters, corrupt union officials and a U.S. senator in this bold, action-packed tale of ambition, greed and deadly rivalries. Johnny Kovak (Stallone) is an honest, hard-working factory employee who gives his all for the American Dream. But after years of harsh injustices and dehumanising conditions, he takes it upon himself to lead a massive campaign to unionise the company's workers. And when the firm responds with threats, intimidation and murder, Johnny is forced to compromise his principles and join with organised crime figures just so he can utilise their muscle and influence! But as he sacrifices more and more of his ideals for the cause, Johnny realises that in order to win, he may have to surrender much more than his honor - he may have to surrender his life. Charged with hard-hitting action and magnificent performances by Stallone, Rod Steiger, Peter Boyle and Brian Dennehy, this searching drama is a superb and powerful movie, that really packs a punch.
