Genre: Action, Crime, Drama, Prison, Escape, Buddies, Suspense, Cult Classic
Tagline: One of the great ones!
Plot: Two escaped convicts -- one black (Poitier), one white (Curtis), and both shackled in the same pair of handcuffs -- battle the elements and each other as they travel Southern back roads eluding the ever-approaching posse. Though the device of binding two racial antagonists together for survival may be rather obvious, the performances make the result compelling. Watch for Chaney, Jr. along the way.
