Summary: Convicted felon Eddie Taylor decides to lead the straight life with his devoted girlfriend, Joan, who arranges for his early parole. She agrees to marry him, but a bank robbery gone bad points accusing fingers at the innocent Eddie. Taking Joan on the lam, Eddie is caught in a cat-and-mouse chase with the law closing in just a few steps behind them! This haunting and stylish gem from master director Fritz Lang was the first of his film noir classics, including The Big Heat and Clash by Night, and it inspired countless "criminal lovers on the run" classics like Bonnie and Clyde and The Getaway.
