Synopsis
Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) is Robert Wise's late film noir, and you can watch it online on iFILM. This crime drama pairs Harry Belafonte, Robert Ryan and Shelley Winters in a heist that's doomed less by the plan than by the men running it.
A disgraced ex-cop pulls three together for an easy fifty grand. His recruits: a nightclub emcee drowning in gambling debts, and a sour bigot who can't stand that his partner is Black. The job only works if they trust each other. They don't, not for a second.
Wise shoots New York cold and hard, and the racial hatred isn't backdrop — it's the detonator, the thing that drags the whole score under because one man can't get past his own poison. It lands as one of the genre's sharpest statements on prejudice, and it still cuts. Stream Odds Against Tomorrow (1959) online on iFILM.
