'''''The Defiant Ones''''' is a 1958 American [[drama film]] produced and directed by [[Stanley Kramer]]. The film was adapted by [[Harold Jacob Smith]] from the story by [[Nedrick Young]], originally credited as Nathan E. Douglas. It stars [[Tony Curtis]] and [[Sidney Poitier]] as two escaped prisoners, one white and one black, who are shackled together and who must co-operate in order to survive.

''The Defiant Ones'' premiered on June 29, 1958 at the [[8th Berlin International Film Festival]], where Poitier won the [[Silver Bear for Best Actor]]. Upon its release in the U.S. on September 27, the film was highly regarded by film critics. It won [[Academy Awards]] for [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography|Cinematography (Black-and-White)]] and [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay|Original Screenplay]] and was nominated for seven others, including [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] and [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] for both Poitier and Curtis.

==Plot==
One night in the late 1950s in the Southern United States, a truck loaded with prisoners swerves to avoid another truck and crashes through a barrier. The rescuers clear up the debris and discover two prisoners have escaped, an African American man shackled to a white man because "the warden had a sense of humor." They are told not to look too hard as "they will probably kill each other before they go five miles." Nevertheless, a large [[Posse comitatus (common law)|posse]] and many [[bloodhound]]s are dispatched the next morning to find them. The two missing men are Noah Cullen and John "Joker" Jackson. Despite their mutual hatred, they are forced to cooperate, as they are chained together. At first, their co-operation is motivated by self-preservation, but gradually they begin to respect and like each other.

Cullen and Joker flee through difficult terrain and weather, with a brief stop at a turpentine [[company town|camp]] where they attempt to break into a general store, in hopes of obtaining food and tools to break the chain. Instead, they are captured by the inhabitants, who form a lynch mob; they are saved only by the interference of "Big" Sam, a man who is appalled by his neighbors' bloodthirst. Sam persuades the onlookers to lock the convicts up and turn them in the next morning. That night, he secretly releases them, being a former chain-gang prisoner himself.

Finally, they run into a young boy named Billy. They make him take them to his home and his mother, whose husband has abandoned his family. The escapees finally are able to break their chains. When they spend the night there, the lonely woman is attracted to Joker and wants to run off with him. She advises Cullen to go through the swamp to reach the railroad tracks while she and Joker will drive off in her car. However, after Cullen leaves, the woman reveals that she had lied: She has sent Cullen into the dangerous swamp to die to eliminate any chance he would be captured and reveal where Joker had gone. Furious, Joker runs after his friend; as he leaves, Billy shoots him.

Wounded, Joker catches up with Cullen and warns him about the swamp. The posse led by humane sheriff Max Muller gets close. The two hear a train whistle and run toward it. Cullen catches up to the train and jumps aboard. Joker runs alongside, desperately trying to catch up. Cullen calls to Joker and holds out his hand. Their hands clasp, but Cullen is unable to pull Joker aboard. Both men tumble to the ground. Too exhausted to run, they realize all they can do is wait for their pursuers. The sheriff finds Cullen singing defiantly and Joker lying in his arms.

==Production==
[[File:Belair Drive-in Ad - 12 December 1958, Fontana, CA.jpg|thumb|[[Drive-in theater|Drive-in]] advertisement from 1958]]
[[Robert Mitchum]], a veteran of a Southern [[chain gang]], turned down the role of Jackson because he believed black and white people would not be chained together in the segregated South at that time.<ref name="server2001">{{cite book |title=Robert Mitchum: "Baby I Don't Care" |last=Server |first=Lee |url=https://archive.org/details/robertmitchumbab00serv |url-access=registration |page=[https://archive.org/details/robertmitchumbab00serv/page/280 280] |year=2001 |publisher=St. Martin's Press |isbn=0-312-26206-X}}</ref> Mitchum's reasoning was misinterpreted over the years into the claim that he turned down the film because of his refusal to work with a black man.<ref name="server2001"/> Kramer wrote that Poitier was initially unsure of Curtis' casting but became supportive. Curtis, however, denied this; he stated that he had contractual rights to approve who would play Cullen. However, despite Curtis' many later claims and stories, Kramer had cast Poitier and [[Marlon Brando]] as the two leads when a previous contractual obligation prevented Poitier from being able to accept the role. Kramer wanted Poitier for the role so badly that he delayed the film's production, which led to Brando having to decline because the delay caused shooting to overlap with another obligation. Curtis was cast afterwards. Curtis did request Poitier's name appear with his above the movie title marking a first for Poitier in his career.<ref name="afi">{{cite web |title=The Defiant Ones (1958) |url=https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/moviedetails/53463 |website=[[AFI Catalog of Feature Films]] |access-date=8 March 2023}}</ref><ref name="tcmcurtis">{{cite episode|series=[[Private Screenings]] |title=Tony Curtis |network=[[Turner Classic Movies]] |date=January 19, 1999}}</ref>

[[Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer|Carl Switzer]], of the ''[[Our Gang]]'' comedies, has a small role. It was his last before his death.

In his second autobiography ''Why Me'', [[Sammy Davis Jr.]] revealed that [[Elvis Presley]] wanted to star with him in this film. However, [[Colonel Tom Parker]], Presley's manager, was against it.<ref>{{cite book |title=Why Me? |last=Davis Jr. |first=Sammy |author-link=Sammy Davis Jr. |year=1989 |publisher=Farrar, Straus & Giroux |isbn=978-0374289973

==Reception==
The film earned rentals of $2.5 million in the United States and Canada but did not perform as well overseas.<ref name=rentals/> It ultimately made a profit of $1 million.<ref name="tino"/>

===Critical response===
When the film was originally released, [[Bosley Crowther]], film critic for ''The New York Times'', lauded the production and the acting in the film, writing "A remarkably apt and dramatic visualization of a social idea—the idea of men of different races brought together to face misfortune in a bond of brotherhood—is achieved by producer Stanley Kramer in his new film, ''The Defiant Ones''...&nbsp;Between the two principal performers there isn't much room for a choice. Mr. Poitier stands out as the Negro convict and Mr. Curtis is surprisingly good. Both men are intensely dynamic. Mr. Poitier shows a deep and powerful strain of underlying compassion...In the ranks of the pursuers, Theodore Bikel is most impressive as a sheriff with a streak of mercy and justice, which he has to fight to maintain against a brutish state policeman, played by Charles McGraw."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1958/09/25/archives/screen-a-forceful-social-drama-the-defiant-ones-has-debut-at.html |last=Crowther |first=Bosley |author-link=Bosley Crowther |work=[[The New York Times]] |title=Screen: A Forceful Social Drama; ' The Defiant Ones' Has Debut at Victoria |date=September 25, 1958 |access-date=February 23, 2011}}</ref>

''Variety'' praised the acting and discussed the film's major theme, writing "The theme of ''The Defiant Ones'' is that what keeps men apart is their lack of knowledge of one another. With that knowledge comes respect, and with respect comradeship and even love. This thesis is exercised in terms of a colored and a white man, both convicts chained together as they make their break for freedom from a Southern prison gang. The performances by Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier are virtually flawless. Poitier captures all of the moody violence of the convict, serving time because he assaulted a white man who had insulted him. It is a cunning, totally intelligent portrayal that rings powerfully true...Curtis delivers a true surprise performance. He starts off as a sneering, brutal character, willing to fight it out to-the-death with his equally stubborn companion. When, in the end, he sacrifices a dash for freedom to save Poitier, by saving him from the swamp, he has managed the transition with such skill that sympathy is completely with him."<ref>{{cite news |title=The Defiant Ones |url=https://variety.com/1957/film/reviews/the-defiant-ones-1200419029/ |access-date=8 March 2023 |work=Variety |date=December 31, 1957}}</ref>

==Remakes and parodies==
The basis of ''The Defiant Ones'' was revisited several times in popular media:

* [[Lenny Bruce]] parodied the film from his 1960 album ''I Am Not a Nut, Elect Me! (Togetherness)''.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* [[Warner Bros.]] parodied the film in [[Friz Freleng]]'s 1961 cartoon ''[[D' Fightin' Ones]]'', in which [[Sylvester the Cat]] escapes from captivity in a dogcatcher truck while chained to a [[bulldog]].{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* On his 1964 debut LP, [[Godfrey Cambridge]] parodied the film, re-writing the final scene so that Cullen makes it onto the train without his white companion, to which Cullen (played by Cambridge) says "Byeeee, baby...!"{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* [[Teruo Ishii]] modeled his 1965 film ''[[Abashiri Prison (film)|Abashiri Prison]]'' on ''The Defiant Ones''.<ref name="SchillingIshii">{{cite book |last=Schilling|first=Mark|author-link=Mark Schilling|title=The Yakuza Movie Book: A Guide to Japanese Gangster Films|year=2003|publisher=[[Stone Bridge Press]]|location=Berkeley, Calif.|isbn=1-880656-76-0|pages=55–70}}</ref>
* In 1972, the story changed the gender of the protagonists in the film ''[[Black Mama White Mama]],'' starring [[Pam Grier]] and [[Margaret Markov]].<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Trash Compactor|edition=Volume 2 No. 6|url=https://archive.org/stream/TrashCompactorV2N61992/Trash%20Compactor%20v2%20n6%20%281992%29#page/n5/mode/1up/search/%22john+ashley%22|title=The John Ashley Interview Part 2|year=1992|page=6|first=John|last=Lamont}}</ref>
* Another 1972 [[B-movie]] added a [[science fiction]] [[blaxploitation]] twist as ''[[The Thing with Two Heads]]'', in which a racist white man (played by [[Ray Milland]]) has his head grafted onto the body of a living black man (played by [[Rosey Grier]]).{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* A pair of [[Marvel Comics]] supervillains called [[Hammer and Anvil (comics)|Hammer and Anvil]] were parodies of the film's leads.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* In 1986, the film was [[The Defiant Ones (1986 film)|remade]] for television, starring [[Robert Urich]] and [[Carl Weathers]]. 
* The 1987 ''[[G.I. Joe: The Movie]]'' has the temporarily blinded Roadblock and the former Cobra Commander working together to escape Cobra-La; this was a deliberate reference to ''The Defiant Ones'' by writer Buzz Dixon.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* The film was paid homage to by the 1992 ''[[Quantum Leap (1989 TV series)|Quantum Leap]]'' episode "[[Quantum Leap (season 4)#ep63|Unchained]]", in which protagonist Sam Beckett lands in the body of a white Mississippi road-gang worker chained to a wrongly convicted black man, and the two must escape together or be murdered by the corrupt warden.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* In 1996, the film was remade as ''[[Fled]]'', starring [[Laurence Fishburne]] and [[Stephen Baldwin]].{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* The film was unofficially remade in Hindi by Bollywood (Indian cinema) titled ''[[Kachche Dhaage]]'' starring Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali Khan. The story was changed to a different setting to enable the protagonists to be chained together while settling their differences on the run.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
* The 2018 western video game ''[[Red Dead Redemption 2]]'' features an optional questline where the player can help two chain gang escapees, a white man named Mr. Black and a black man named Mr. White, evade the law after being wrongfully convicted of a crime, or hand them over to the authorities for their bounties.{{cn|date=September 2024}}
