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 be. Because Joe aims to ensure his would-be executioners meet the fat 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 (Metropolis, The Big Heat) combines a passion for justice and 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.

Along with Robert Wiene (Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari) he practically invented an entire style of filmmaking, German Expressionism, characterized by its exaggerated angels, surreal imagery and dark storylines. His films that came out of this movement, such as the surreal sci-fi epic Metropolis and the urban gothic horror M, were some of the darkest and bleakest views of
