On the Waterfront (AFI Top 100 Films #19)

Marlon Brando stars in, perhaps, his most iconic role as the washed-out boxer-turned-mob-tool Terry Malloy. He unwittingly plays a part in a murder, an old crush comes back to town, and things unravel for him. Will he stand up for what he knows is right, or will he take the dive, like the night that ended his career as a boxer?
