In the California apple country, 900 migratory workers rise 'in dubious battle' against the landowners. The group takes on a life of its own—stronger than its individual members, and more frightening. Led by the doomed Jim Nolan, the strike is founded on his tragic idealism—'courage, never submit, or yield'.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Franco optioned this in 2011, obsessed with Steinbeck. Fifteen books on his shelf, apparently.
This bombed so hard it helped kill Franco's directing career—Of Mice and Men on Broadway was his apology tour.
