Manchester
The Big Heat (15)
Police Sergeant Bannion is investigating the apparent suicide of a corrupt cop, but is suddenly ordered to stop the investigation. Driven to unravel the mystery, Bannion continues probing until his professional persistence has disastrous personal consequences.
As the conspiracy closes in around him, Bannion finds himself trapped in a deadly game with an underworld kingpin, his cold-blooded henchman and a mysterious woman.
Muscular filmmaking from Fritz Lang and memorable turns from Lee Marvin and Gloria Grahame as a violent gangster and a femme fatale moll make The Big Heat a brutal, brilliant film noir.?
