Full Plot Details

During the late 1940s, a gang of armed-robbers, known as The Tri-State Gang, terrorizes banks and payroll-vans in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. The five members of the gang, all of whom have long police records, are George Legenza, William B. Phillips, Robert Mais, Herbie Brooks and Noyes Hinton. The gang leader, George Legenza, is particularly vicious and takes pleasure in killing robbery-witnesses as well as bank guards. During a bank robbery, a witness notices the get-away car's license-plate but only partially. The police sets-up road-blocks and verifies the identity of all persons fitting the robbers' description as well as their car's partially-known license-plate, model and color. A special police unit, led by Detective Sgt. Truscott, is tasked with apprehending the robbers. All five mobsters have girlfriends to pass their spare-time but these women are not aware of the gang's criminal activities. When one of the girlfriends, a Canadian, gets wind of these crimes, she tries to break-up her relationship with the 'boys' and run away. The gang leader, fearful of her ratting them out to the cops, doesn't hesitate to shoot her. However, she survives the shooting and is taken to the hospital where the police guard her in the hope of interrogating her. Legenza, upon finding out that she's not dead, decides to go to the hospital to finish her off. But the hospital is closely guarded by Sgt. Truscott's men and a shoot-out with Legenza ensues, followed by a car chase through the city streets and ending at the rail yard.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzEnjoyable action-filled B film crime drama that wants us to know that crime doesn't pay.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WBased on a true story,"Highway 301" is a seldom seen gangster picture filled with a substantial amount violence for a movie made in 1950. Andrew Stone's film was released a year after Raoul Walsh's classic, "White Heat." In that film, James Cagney's Cody Jarrett is an unhinged psychopath who, among other things, shoots holes in a car trunk in order to give the captive within some fresh air. "Highway 301" contains some nasty moments as well: grisly shootouts, a woman murdered at point blank range, and a fleeing gangster run over by a train. This is extremely violent by 1950 standards for sure. In order to reassure its sanitized Cold War audience, the film opens and closes with statements from "honorable" governors of the states depicted in the film reassuring folks that crime doesn't pay and all the bad guys were caught and punished. Nonetheless, the film is able to get away with a remarkable level of violence for its era, making this film a must for gangster movie fans. The movie is available on DVD for the first time through the Warner Archives site. The print encoded on the disc is nearly flawless, and may not have been shown since its original theatrical release! *** Three Stars -Oliver Spivey
