Synopsis – What to Expect from “White Heat”
White Heat is a 1949 crime drama directed by Raoul Walsh and starring James Cagney as Cody Jarrett, a ruthless criminal mastermind. Jarrett is the leader of a gang of thieves and murderers who rob banks, hijack trucks, and commit other violent crimes. He is a sociopath with a deep-seated hatred of authority, especially the police.
The story follows Jarrett and his gang as they attempt to pull off a daring train robbery. Along the way, they face off against a determined police detective, Hank Fallon (Edmond O’Brien), who is determined to put an end to their criminal activities.
The film also follows the relationship between Jarrett and his mother, Ma Jarrett (Margaret Wycherly), who has been a major influence in his life. Ma Jarrett is a domineering woman who has enabled her son’s criminal behavior and is devoted to him despite his violent nature.
The story culminates in a tense and exciting climax as Jarrett and his gang battle the police in a daring train robbery. In the end, Jarrett is betrayed by his own gang and left to face the consequences of his actions.
White Heat is a classic crime drama that features a complex and riveting story, strong performances, and intense action sequences. It is an enduring classic that has become a cult favorite and is widely considered one of the greatest crime films of all time.
