Spike Lee’s groundbreaking film Do the Right Thing is a bold, electric story that remains as relevant today as when it premiered in 1989.
Set on the hottest day of the summer in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, the film follows a single day that builds from everyday tension to an unforgettable climax. With vibrant cinematography, unforgettable performances, and a powerful message about race, community, and justice, Do the Right Thing is widely regarded as one of the most important American films ever made. Spike Lee received an Oscar nomination for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, and Danny Aiello was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
