Excellent
1978 Paul Schrader crime drama about labor relations in a
Detroit auto plant. Stars
Richard Pryor,
Harvey Keitel, and
Yaphet Kotto as three auto workers who decide to rob their own
union's offices. While they net little more than some incriminating files, the union claims to have lost $10,000 in the robbery. Incensed, the three
blackmail the union -- triggering a response that alternates between seduction and violence. Think
Animal Farm.
Blue Collar was Schrader's directorial debut.
