Blue Collar
"Blue Collar" is the American Dream. If you're rich, you can buy it. If you're anything else, you gotta fight for it.
Directed by Paul Schrader
Produced by TAT Communications Company, Universal Pictures
A gritty, socially conscious crime drama about working-class desperation and the corruption that traps ordinary men into moral compromise.
Fed up with mistreatment at the hands of both management and union brass, and coupled with financial hardships on each man's end, three auto assembly line workers hatch a plan to rob a safe at union headquarters.
