Blue Collar (1978)

Poster for Blue Collar

"Blue Collar" is the American Dream. If you're rich, you can buy it. If you're anything else, you gotta fight for it.

Fed up with mistreatment at the hands of both management and union brass, and coupled with financial hardships on each man's end, three auto assembly line workers hatch a plan to rob a safe at union headquarters.
