Do the Right Thing

Over the course of the hottest day of the year in New York City, a pizza delivery boy navigates through racial, generational, and class conflicts as tensions intensify and reach their boiling point around a pizza joint in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.
Editorial
Spike Lee’s polemical masterpiece has lost none of its righteous power in the decades since its release. A panoramic, heatwave-burnished tale of racial tension, community, and state violence that throbs with fevered urgency, Do the Right Thing is one of the great American films. Fight the power!
