| In this towering classic of American cinema, Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) returns from prison, where he was serving time for manslaughter, to his family's Oklahoma farm and finds the house abandoned. Muley (John Qualen), his half-crazed neighbor, tells Tom about the recent dispossession of the sharecroppers, who have been driven out by drought and the greedy land companies. Tom finally locates his family as they are about to pack their belongings on a dilapidated truck and head West, lured by promises of work and high wages in California. Joined by their friend Casy (John Carradine), a former "fire and brimstone" preacher, the Joad�s begin their long trek west on Route 66, but the arduous trip and harsh living conditions they encounter offer little hope, and family unity proves as daunting a challenge as any other they face. |
