F.I.S.T.
A story about a man, the woman he loved, and the men he fought for.
Directed by Norman Jewison
Produced by United Artists, Chateau Productions
A gritty 1970s drama about labor-union ambition and corruption, tracing one man's moral compromise as he rises through the ranks while pursued by federal scrutiny.
Johnny Kovak joins the Teamsters trade-union in a local chapter in the 1930s and works his way up in the organization. As he climbs higher and higher his methods become more ruthless and finally senator Madison starts a campaign to find the truth about the alleged connections with the Mob.
