 Terry Malloy (Marlon
Brando), a handsome but inarticulate longshoreman (and an ex-prize
fighter), gets involved in a labor scandal when a fellow dock
worker is murdered. He knows that the victim was killed by the
oppressive labor union for squealing to a commission investigating
misdoings. Terry intends to keep his mouth shut and his job safe.
But when Edie (Eva Marie Saint), the dead man's beautiful sister,
comes to town, he must choose between his allegiance to a corrupt
union and his loyalty to Edie. Rob Steiger plays Terry's older
brother Charley and Lee J. Cobb plays the violent boss Johnny
Friendly.
