A poor father has the one tool he needs to sustain his family stolen: his bike. Winner of the Locarno Special Prize in 1949, Bicycle Thieves is one of the most influential films in the history of cinema. Filmed on location with a modest budget and a non-professional cast, this incredibly popular melodrama is a key work of the Italian neorealism movement.
