Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song

A young black man, a sex worker, unites with disillusioned bikers and his community to resist racial injustice, embarking on a thrilling pursuit to evade authorities and ignite a revolution for equality.

A young black man, raised in a brothel, performs in a sex show before being framed by his employer for a murder in the black community. After killing the two white cops who arrested him, he becomes the target of a massive manhunt and flees to Mexico, where he faces capture and escape attempts from both law enforcement and a chapter of the Hell's Angels.
