The plot of “Out of Furnace”: Russell Baze (Christian Bale) is a worker at steel factory in Pennsylvania that his father had worked before. He has been in a prison for murdering a kid while driving the car being a drunk. Also, his heat of life Lena (Zoe Saldana) has dumped him to local policeman Wesley Barnes (Forest Whitaker). His brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) is also sad man. He has come back from Iraq war with all the anger and fights in the local ring owned by John Petty (Willem Dafoe) for money. Rodney has borrowed money to play gambling games and Petty cannot pay the money due to the hard times of organizing the fights. So he asks Petty to go to New Jersey, where bigger fights are held by Harlan DeGroat (Woody Harrelson). The sequence of the story has several surprising events after they get along with DeGroat’s band, which ends with tragedy.
We see Russell for the first time when Barack Obama is giving a speech on TV as of being elected president and the next scene leaps to the present time afterwards. This scene adds political implication of overlooked mid-class, working class American people in the middle of economic recession. However “Out of Furnace” is not about the economic recession or political view at all. it is all about the sad lives of main characters in the movie. This is only the beginning of the movie but it is not all, as well. The movie is directed by Scott Cooper and the screenplay is written by Mr. Cooper and Brad Ingelsby. The runtime of the movie is 116 minutes. The Rating: R fro violence and language.
