RACKET, THE (1951)

The Racket boldly begins where the Senate crime committee left off!

Nick Scanlon (Robert Ryan) is an old-fashioned kind of gangster. If someone crosses you, settle it with a fist or a bullet. Tom McQuigg (Robert Mitchum) is an old-fashioned kind of cop. Grab the bad guy, not the bribe. But they are both living in a corrupt new world on both sides of the law, efficient green-eyeshade types who run a crime ring like a corporation. They will not mind if Scanlon and Tom McQuigg square off . if they bring each other down. Ryan and Mitchum, who co-starred in the ground-breaking Crossfire return for another tense, character-driven, twist-laden film noir. Who'll stab you in the back? You'll be surprised. Making its Blu-ray debut, newly remastered from a 4K scan of the original nitrate negative, THE RACKET this new presentation draws the audience into this Film Noir classic as never before.
