Video trailer for the 1986 theatrical drama "Native Son" starring Carroll Baker, Geraldine Page, Oprah Winfrey, Matt Dillon, Elizabeth McGovern, John Karlen, Ving Rhames and introducing Victor Love as Bigger Thomas. The second film adaptation of Richard Wright's classic novel. Bigger Thomas, an angry, morose 19-year-old black man, resides in depression-era Chicago, and appears to be headed for a life of trouble. He achieves his destiny one night when he accidentally kills the daughter of his wealthy, white employers. But, perhaps because of his lowly status in society, Bigger feels empowered rather than remorseful after committing the crime. And it is this attitude that could lead to his downfall, after he is caught and tried for murder. Impressive cast of Academy Award winners and nominees in this independent film.
