Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play Nominated for nine Academy Awards® including Best Picture The Defiant Ones broke new ground by delivering its message of racial tolerance through a fast-moving blend of action and suspense It remains "a raw powerful film that is as exciting as it is moving real and literate" (Variety) Joker Jackson (Tony Curtis) and Noah Cullen (Sidney Poitier) are two convicts on the run Escaping from a Southern work gang the two men are bound together by an unbreakable iron chain and separated by an unbridled hatred towards each other Relentlessly pursued by a posse and bloodhounds they put aside their differences to survive But when a lonely woman (Cara Williams) breaks their chain and deliberately sends Cullen to certain death Jackson must decide what&39;s more important saving Cullen… or saving himself

In America's Deep South two convicts, one black (Sidney Poitier), one white (Tony Curtis), escape their chain gang and make a bid for freedom, despite being handcuffed together. Crossing a river, stealing from a store, the pair's adventures drive them to overcome their initial antagonisms and re-examine their prejudices, while continually trying to evade the search party which has been sent after them. Oscars were won for Best Original Story and Best Black and White Cinematography.
