F.I.S.T. (Import Sv.Text)

Jimmy Kovak (Sylvester Stallone) is an honest, hard-working factory employee who gives his all for the American Dream. But after years of harsh injustices and dehumanising conditions, he takes it upon himself to lead a massive campaign to unionise the company's workers. When the firm responds with threats, intimidation and murder, Johnny is forced to compromise his principles and join with organised crime figures just so he can utilise their muscle and influence.

But as he sacrifices more and more of his ideals for the cause, Johnny realises that in order to win, he may have to surrender much more than his honour - he may have to surrender his life. Charged with hard-hitting action and magnificent performances by Stallone, Rod Steiger, Peter Boyle and Brian Dennehy, Norman Jewison's F.I.S.T. (co-written by Joe Eszterhaus and Stallone) packs a punch.
