Joe Wilson, a wrongly jailed man thought to have died in a blaze started by a bloodthirsty lynch mob, is somehow alive. And dead to all he ever stood for and perhaps ever will. Because Joe aims to ensure his would-be executioners meet the fate Joe miraculously escaped. Spencer Tracy is Joe, Sylvia Sidney is his bride-to-be, and Fury lives up to its volatile name with its searing indictment of mob justice and lynching. In his first American film, director Fritz Lang combines a passion for justice and a sharp visual style into a landmark of social-conscience filmmaking. In the 49 years before this movie's release, some 6,000 people in the U.S. were victims of lynch mobs. The Fury over those tragedies - and over other injustices to come - remains. (Warner Bros.

I almost felt like Lang ran out of breath towards the end, and the finale isn't as strong as I would have liked, but it doesn't matter so much because what you're watching up until then is very powerful. Humanity is beautifully presented here as lying, violent, and unable to accept responsibility for its actions. This society is weird and, sadly, nothing has changed in 80 years.
