The Klansman

CrimeDramaThriller112 min

In a small Southern town, a brutal assault on a Black woman sets off a chain of retaliation, rumor, and public fury. As anger spreads, the local sheriff tries to keep order while white supremacists seize the moment to terrorize the community and settle old scores. Personal grudges, racial hatred, and the threat of mob violence pull more townspeople into the conflict, turning one crime into a wider crisis. Lee Marvin and Richard Burton appear at the center of a story where every attempt to calm things down runs into fear, vengeance, and the power the Klan holds over the town.
