On the Waterfront is the classic Elia Kazan movie starring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Rod Steiger, Lee Cobb, and Eva Marie Saint. It's about longshoremen dominated by the local mob, and one man's stand against them, thanks to a Catholic priest.

Brando stars in a classic role, and this video reviews and analyzes On the Waterfront for its themes and ideas, including "crucifixion" and social justice.
