Der skrupellose Kleinganove Pinkie treibt Schutzgelder auf der Pferderennbahn ein und geht dabei über Leichen. Als er seinen Rivalen Fred um die Ecke bringt, beginnen für ihn die Probleme. Der Mord wird zufällig von der Kellnerin Rose beobachtet und Freds Freundin Ida stellt auf eigene Faust Nachforschungen an. Um seine Spuren zu verwischen, bleibt Pinkie nur eine Möglichkeit: Er muss Rose zum Schweigen bringen…
Nach dem 1938 erstmals erschienenen gleichnamigen Roman von Graham Greene drehte John Boulting (“Der beste Mann beim Militär”) diesen stark inszenierten und gespielten Thriller im Stil des film noir. “Brighton Rock” gilt bis heute als einer der besten britischen Thriller alle Zeiten und hält sich relativ genau an die literarische Vorlage. Der spätere Erfolgsregisseur Richard Attenborough gibt in der Rolle des Kleinganoven eine prächtige Vorstellung seiner Schauspielkunst, ebenso gelungen agiert William Hartnell als sein Komplize.

Brighton Rock takes the US noir thriller formula and blends it with a striking vision of the British seaside town in the 1930s. This isn't the place of innocent days out, but rather "another Brighton of dark alleyways and festering slums."
Arriving in town on a publicity stunt is newspaper journalist 'Kolley Kibber'. Kibber - actually Fred Hale (Wheatley) - had been responsible the death of Brighton gang leader Kite. When the gang's dangerous new leader, a 17-year-old Pinkie Brown (Attenborough), gets wind of Fred's visit, the journalist panics. Brown and his mob pursue him. Ruthlessly, Pinkie kills Fred, pushing him from the pier.
Driven by paranoia, a hunger for power and a share of deranged Catholic self-loathing, the psychotic Pinkie will go to any lengths to cover his tracks. He even gets involved with a dangerous game with Brighton's big-time mobster, Colleoni (Goldner).
Pinkie plans to marry a witness, Rose (Marsh), who could give the game away, wooing the naive young girl with his edgy charms, "you're sensitive, like me". He has no qualms about dishing out retribution to members of his gang who he considers weak, like aging, moral Spicer (Watson), who he ominousl tells "You go to sleep Spicey. Don't worry, I'll fix everything". Meanwhile, Ida (Baddeley), a self-possessed entertainer who had spent a brief time with the murdered man, refuses to accept the police explanation of his death and sets about investigating.
