Key Largo
A storm of fear and fury in the sizzling Florida Keys!
Directed by John Huston
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A taut noir thriller where a sadistic mobster's siege of a hotel during a hurricane becomes a crucible for testing courage, morality, and the cost of survival.
A hurricane swells outside, but it's nothing compared to the storm within the hotel at Key Largo. There, sadistic mobster Johnny Rocco holes up - and holds at gunpoint hotel owner James Temple, his widowed daughter-in-law Nora, and ex-GI Frank McCloud.
