It's the hottest day of the summer. You can do nothing, you can do something, or you can... Do the Right Thing. Directed by visionary filmmaker Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing is one of the most thought-provoking and groundbreaking films of its time. The controversial story centres around one scorching inner-city day, when racial tensions reach the boiling point in a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood. Culturally significant and featuring over four hours of bonus features, Do the Right Thing captures a vital look at American life. (Universal Pictures UK)
