CrimeDrama
A criminal known as Thunderbolt is imprisoned and facing execution.

Thunderbolt hopes to stave off the execution long enough to kill young Moran for romancing his girl.
VIBE
A stark, pre-code crime drama that feels like a shadowy, early glimpse into the moral ambiguities of film noir. It's a tense, dramatic experience, heavy with atmosphere and the weight of impending doom.
