Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis are chain-gang convicts that escape from a prison truck after an accident. The two convicts run long and hard, even though they are manacled together.
There are racial overtones throughout the film, and that racial tension boils over multiple times.
All the convicts want, in addition to clearing out of the country all together, is to get their chains off and to get away from each other. Until then, however, they are forced to cooperate ... Read More

I saw this movie when I was a teenager long ago. It's great. It addresses the awful truth of racism, and shows how that shallow viewpoint can be turned around. Great performances by Sidney Poiter and Tony Curtis, how can you possibly go wrong with either one of those two, right?! Great song, too, that will get stuck in your head forever. Loooong gone....ain't he lucky....:o)

'The Defiant Ones' is a classic film that deals with racism, survival and loyalty. Two prisoners, one black and one white are forced to work together to survive when a prison transport vehicle crashes. The two convicts who are chained together have to put their differences aside to stay ahead of the lawmen who want to put them back behind bars. Poitier and Curtis are in top form in this engrossing drama. Although a bit dated, the film holds up well and the DVD transfer in clean and crisp!
Rating: -
Although minimal by today's Hollywood standards, this drama stimulates discussion on many levels. Some of it is obviously dated, but it is worthwhile seeing from the standpoint of cinematic storytelling, basic cinematic technique, and basic dramatic performances without excessive explosions, graphic sex or verbal profanity. Highly recommended for the movie enthusiasist.
