During a summer heat wave in Brooklyn, one block simmers toward combustion. Spike Lee's 1989 masterpiece is a powerful dramatization of race relations in America. With Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" as its anthem and superb performances from a large ensemble cast — including Samuel L. Jackson, John Turturro, and Ruby Dee, with Lee himself as pizza delivery man Mookie — Do the Right Thing remains a landmark of American cinema.
“Said more about the state of contemporary race relations, and with more complexity and brazen confidence, than any other film in the American cinema to date…” –Ashley Clark
