A single inside witness to police brutality and graft finds his family murdered. Now he is on the run in his own city, trying to escape the protectors of law and order who have marked him for death. The Big Heat, one of the all-time greats in the hard-boiled crime genre, was made into a major motion picture starring Glenn Ford and Gloria Grahame.
