Jeden z wcześniejszych - i mało znanych - obrazów Martina Scorsese, wyprodukowany przez legendarnego Rogera Cormana. Akcja tego opartego na autentycznych zdarzeniach filmu dzieje się w Ameryce z okresu "Wielkiego Kryzysu", czyli na początku lat 30-tych. Zagubiona po tragicznej śmierci ojca Berta wiąże się z przywódcą grupy rebeliantów Big Billem Shelleyem. Odbywa wspólnie z nimi podróż pociągami po całym kraju, naznaczoną licznymi napadami rabunkowych. W niektórych fragmentach filmu, zwłaszcza w naturalistycznych scenach przemocy widać już przebłyski geniuszu reżyserskiego Scorsese. Zdecydowanie jednak zabrakło w tym dziele spójności gatunkowej. Jego twórca nie potrafił się do końca zdecydować czy realizuje "sowizdrzałowską" komedię przygodową czy poważny dramat społeczny...

Maya is a quick-witted young woman who comes over the Mexican border without papers and makes her way to the LA home of her older sister Rosa. Rosa gets Maya a job as a janitor: a non-union janitorial service has the contract, the foul-mouthed supervisor can fire workers on a whim, and the service-workers' union has assigned organizer Sam Shapiro to bring its "justice for janitors" campaign to the building. Sam finds Maya a willing listener, she's also attracted to him. Rosa resists, she has an ailing husband to consider. The workers try for public support; management intimidates workers to divide and conquer. Rosa and Maya as well as workers and management may be set to collide.

25-year-old philosophy major Marta faces the ugly truth for many young Italians — a complete lack of career opportunities.

Around her revolve people like delusional supervisor Daniela, her boss Claudio, fragile coworker Lucio, and well-meaning but inconsistent union rep Giorgio.

In the 1920s, the rights of American workers to join a labor union was still considered an open question, and African-Americans were routinely denied their civil and economic rights. 10,000 Black Men Named George, the title, refers to the fact Pullman porters were often called "George" by white passengers, which was considered a racial slur.
