Teenaged Tolly Devlin is the lone witness when a trio of hoodlums kills his father. As an adult ex-con, Devlin (played by Cliff Robertson) dedicates himself to avenging the murder. After rescuing a female drug courier, he uses her to gain access to the syndicate. When the FBI offers him a deal as an informant, Devlin strings them along while hatching a plan to eliminate his father's killers. But revenge is so sweet that Devlin doesn't know when to stop. One of Samuel Fuller's punchiest smash-mouth crime dramas, UNDERWORLD U.S.A. uses the never-ending war between cops and crooks as the backdrop to an all-consuming vendetta.
