Another Warner Bros. masterpiece, this one is particularly relevant to our times.

Against the backdrop of a cataclysmic storm, a soft- spoken war hero (Humphrey Bogart) and a stoic hotel keeper (Lionel Barrymore) are held captive by a corrupt, murderous mobster ( Edward G Robinson) and his henchmen, who have returned from exile in Cuba to re-establish their racketeering enterprise in the U.S.
Spurred on by his incipient love for the hotelier’s daughter (Lauren Bacall), Humphrey and the Good Guys triumph in the end.
