English Summary:
Bad Day at Black Rock is a 1955 American crime thriller film, directed by John Sturges and starring Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan, that combines elements of the western genre with those of film noir. The supporting cast includes Anne Francis, Dean Jagger, Walter Brennan, Lee Marvin, and Ernest Borgnine. The cast, although small, had five Academy Award-winning actors (Tracy, Borgnine, Brennan, Jagger, and Marvin).
In late 1945, one-armed John J. Macreedy (Spencer Tracy) gets off a train at the isolated desert hamlet of Black Rock. It is the first time in four years that the train has stopped there. After Macreedy states he is looking for a man named Komoko, several of the local men become inexplicably hostile. The hotel desk clerk, Pete Wirth (John Ericson), claims he has no vacant rooms. Hector David (Lee Marvin) threatens him. Later, Reno Smith (Robert Ryan) informs Macreedy that Komoko, a Japanese-American, was interned during World War II.
Certain that something is wrong, Macreedy sees the local sheriff, Tim Horn (Dean Jagger), but the alcoholic lawman is no help. The veterinarian and undertaker, Doc Velie (Walter Brennan), advises Macreedy to leave town immediately, but lets slip that Komoko is dead. Pete's sister, Liz (Anne Francis), rents Macreedy a Jeep. He drives to nearby Adobe Flat, where he finds a homestead burned to the ground, as well as wildflowers. On the way back, Coley Trimble (Ernest Borgnine) tries to run Macreedy off the road.
Hungarian Summary:
1945-ben egy félkarú idegen érkezik az egyik kopár, sivatagi városba. Egy japán származású amerikai katona apjának szeretné átadni a háborúban elesett fia kitüntetését. A városka lakói ellenségesen fogadják, de neki küldetését teljesítenie kell, s ettől nem hagyja magát eltántorítani. Lassan kideríti, hogy apát a Pearl Harbor elleni japán támadás után nyilván rasszista indítékokból megölték, s hogy a város lakói most mindenképpen szeretnék eltussolni tettüket. Az idegen azonban nem nyugszik, míg a gyilkosokat véres finálé után el nem fogja.
