A down-on-his-luck ex-GI finds himself framed for an armored car robbery. When he’s finally released for lack of evidence—after having been beaten up and tortured by the police—he sets out to discover who set him up, and why. This leads him to Mexico, where he finds the real culprits.
Phil Karlson is one of the great unsung heroes of the noir era. A “poverty row” director who cranked out low-budget but incredibly inventive crime pulp, his influence can be felt all the way through to Tarantino. Kansas City Confidential is a twisty, atmospheric cornerstone of his work.
