Do the Right Thing

Writer and director Spike Lee delivered his best work with this provocative drama. During the hottest summer day, tempers and racial tensions rise in a Brooklyn neighborhood that explodes into violence. Lee shows that nobody is immune to racism and bigotry in micro cosmos where Whites, Blacks, Latinos and Asians clash on a daily basis. The stellar cast includes Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito, John Turturro and Spike Lee. It's the first major breakthrough film by mostly African-American cast and crew. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
