Academy Award winner Humphrey Bogart stars as a convict whose early parole comes at a steep price. Roy Earle (Bogart) barely has a chance to savor his freedom before learning that his release from prison has been arranged in exchange for his help in a high-stakes jewelry heist. Earle knows the caper will most likely end badly for him--and for the brash young thugs in on the job--but he has no choice. Even though Earle finds love with a hardened woman (Ida Lupino) living on the criminal fringe and uses his share of the loot to help a needy young woman (Joan Leslie), he cannot outrun his fate: Earle flees, but the law catches up to him in the High Sierra.

Time and Tide

George Orwell

For anyone who wants the ne plus ultra of sadism, bully-worship, gun-play, socks on the jaw and gangster atmosphere generally, this film is the goods.

A smash for director Raoul Walsh...

a pivotal crime film that took the basic components of the gangster film and reimagined them through a more romanticized, emotional lens

Roy Earle proves to be one of the most sympathetic criminals in film history, which means his inevitable downfall takes on a tragic dimension not usually found in crime flicks

High Sierra is a solid gangster movie and a breakthrough showcase for Bogart's leading capabilities.
