Synopsis:
Based on a controversial novel by William Bradford Huie, the 1974 movie 'The Klansman' stars Richard Burton, Lee Marvin and Linda Evans in an explosive and dark drama about the Klu Klux Klan and a militant black community, set in the Deep South of the United States. When a local woman Nancy Poteet (Linda Evans) is raped, in a small Alabama town that is renowned as a hotbed for Klu Klux Klan activity, emotions soon flare up and get out of hand - particularly when the local Klan, headed by the town Mayor (David Huddleston), falsely accuse an innocent black youth of being the perpetrator. Lee Marvin as Sheriff Bascomb takes on the Klu Klux Klan, with explosive consequences.
Temperatures quickly soar beyond boiling point as the inevitable showdown between the Klan and the black community erupts. This electrifying drama, which exposes racial intolerance and bigotry in the darkest sense, also stars Richard Burton as Breck Stancill and O. J. Simpson in the role of Garth.
