Bicycle Thieves

In post-war Rome, a desperate man named Antonio Ricci finally lands a job that requires a bicycle, only to have it stolen on his first day. He and his young son Bruno spend an agonizing day traversing the city in search of the bike, as the family's livelihood and dignity hang in the balance. A landmark of Italian neorealism, the film offers a heartbreaking portrait of poverty, paternal love, and the moral compromises born of desperation.
