Matt Morrison gets his old college chum Frank Stewart a job at the steel foundry where he works. Trouble quickly ensues.

An exploration of the past and future of the steel industry in America.

Pavle Pavlovic, a steel worker, openly talks about the issues in the steel factory in a television show. He receives an apartment from the board, takes his statement back, but looses the trust of his colleagues. He starts all over again: in another company he gains new friends, however while facing the criminals who illegally transport workers abroad, he loses his life.

A middle-aged steelworker is content with his job and his family, but feels that something is missing in his life. On his 50th birthday, he stops in at a local bar for a drink to celebrate. He finds himself attracted to the young, very sexy barmaid--and, to his surprise, he finds that she is also very attracted to him.

Per i giovani di una piccola città americana l'avvenire non si presenta molto brillante: o la fonderia locale, o la disoccupazione, salvo andarsene in tempo per cercare fortuna altrove. Il diciassettenne Stef Georgevic che in fonderia ha il padre, immigrato polacco e il fratello, pensa proprio alla terza soluzione, ma vuole uscirsene con una prospettiva concreta.

December 1, 1929

A very topical early talkie from low-budget company Columbia Pictures, Wall Street starred Ralph Ince, brother of producer Thomas H. Ince, as Roller McCray, a steelworker turned ruthless tycoon whose tough business methods leads a rival (Philip Strange) to commit suicide. The widow (Aileen Pringle), believing she can ruin Ince by using his own methods, conspires with her husband's former partner (Sam De Grasse), but a strong friendship between Ince and Pringle's young son (Freddie Burke Frederick) changes things dramatically. According to future Three Stooges director Edward Bernds, who worked as a sound mixer on Wall Street, Ince's reaction to his rival's suicidal jump from a window ledge was changed from a sneering "I didn't think he had the guts" to the more respectful "I didn't think he'd do it" due to derisive laughter from the film's crew.

Tony Buba, a film maker from Braddock, Pennsylvania, tells the story of his hometown's decline (along with the rest of the steel mill towns along the Monongahela River) while he dreams of making higher budget films. The picture documents, in a lighthearted way, the community anxiety and activism that accompanied the failure of the steel industry around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Il sogno economico dell'industria siderurgica inglese si è da tempo trasformato nell'incubo della disoccupazione e a Sheffield molti operai trascorrono le loro giornate a oziare all'ufficio di collocamento. Fra questi, ci sono anche Gaz e Dave, due scapestrati trentenni che passano il tempo a rubare travi d'acciaio dalle vecchie fabbriche abbandonate per mettere insieme qualche sterlina. Messo di fronte all'ipotesi di poter perdere la potestà sul figlio adolescente, Gaz escogita un modo originale per arrivare al guadagno facile: visto il crescente successo di pubblico degli strip maschili, Gaz, Dave e altri disoccupati locali daranno vita a uno spettacolo di spogliarello integrale.

Tre giovani amici di origine ucraina, operai in un'acciaieria di Clairton (Pennsylvania), partono per il Vietnam dopo aver festeggiato il matrimonio (rito ortodosso) di uno di loro. Catturati dai Vietcong, subiscono la tortura della roulette russa, ma riescono a fuggire. Mike (De Niro) rimpatria, carico di medaglie; Steven (Savage) perde le gambe e Nick (Walken) trova a Saigon la morte che aveva cercato con accanimento. All'inferno e ritorno. Il Vietnam occupa la parte centrale e un breve capitolo (enfatico) verso la fine, in cadenze di un'apocalisse allucinata, di un carnevale di morte.
