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

Overview

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.

    A serious role for Pryor with a good cast and a message that should hit home for any ordinary working man. Well worth the watch.
