Sal Mineo explodes like a rocket in the role of his life as Dino, a violent teen cornered like a trapped animal, in this rarely-screened, not-on-dvd juvenile delinquent classic! Following reformatory time for his involvement in a robbery in which a man was killed, Dino is released to a kindly case worker (Brian Keith) who tries to connect with the troubled adolescent. But with tension mounting at home and his old gang hungry for action, will Dino revert to a life of crime or can a new relationship with a pretty girl (Susan Kohner) change the outlook for the young rebel?
