What happens

Fury is a 1936 American crime film directed by Fritz Lang that tells the story of an innocent man (Spencer Tracy) who narrowly escapes being burned to death by a lynch mob and the revenge he then seeks. It was Lang's first American film. Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the movie stars Sylvia Sidney and Tracy, with a supporting cast featuring Walter Abel, Bruce Cabot, Edward Ellis and Walter Brennan. Loosely based on the events surrounding the Brooke Hart murder in San Jose, California, the film was adapted by Bartlett Cormack and Lang from the story "Mob Rule" by Norman Krasna. In 1995, it was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
