North York pickpocket, Skip McCoy (Richard Widmark), has his eyes fixed on the big score - but when the cocky ex-con picks the pocketbook of Candy (Jean Peters), the former mistress of a communist spy, he finds a haul bigger than he could have imagined: a strip of microfilm bearing confidential US secrets.

Boasting an A-List Hollywood cast and director Samuel Fueller's signature raw energy and hardboiled repartee Pickup On South Street is hard, tough and brutal - not to mention a true bonafide film noir classic.
