Die Geschichte einer Farmer-Familie aus Oklahoma, die vertrieben wird, weil ihre Farm aus Sicht ihrer Bank keinen Gewinn mehr macht. Die Familie zieht nach Kalifornien, um dort Arbeit zu finden. Arbeit bieten nur kriminelle Großgrundbesitzer, die unter Mindestlohn zahlen und von den örtlichen Polizisten unterstützt werden. Am Ende geht es mehr oder weniger gut für die Familie aus, doch andere sind zum Tode verurteilt.

Français
Un jeune homme rentre à la ferme familiale en Oklahoma, après avoir purgé une peine de quatre ans de prison pour homicide involontaire. La Grande Dépression sévit alors et comme beaucoup d’autres fermiers, sa famille est chassée de son exploitation. Ensemble, ils partent à travers le pays dans l’espoir de trouver, un jour, du travail en Californie. C’est le début d’un périple éprouvant, de camps de réfugiés en bidonvilles de fortunes, dans une Amérique en proie à la misère et à l’oppression…

Pусский
После тюремного срока за убийство, Том Джоад возвращается на свое семейное ранчо, которое к тому времени полностью разорилось и прибывает в запустении. В отсутствие какой-либо перспективы найти работу в засушливой Оклахоме, вся семья собирает свой скарб и отправляется на «землю обетованную» — в Калифорнию. Но трудный путь и тяжкие условия не приносят искомой надежды, и даже единство семьи подвергается испытанию, одному из многих, с которыми приходится сталкиваться.

Filmatisering av John Steinbecks roman om några Oklahomabor som tvingas dra till Kalifornien för att söka arbete när deras jordplätt tas i beslag av banken.

ελληνικά
Μια φτωχή μεσοδυτική οικογένεια που ζει στην Οκλαχόμα, κατά την περίοδο της Μεγάλης Ύφεσης, εκδιώκεται από τη φάρμα της και μετακινείται στην Καλιφόρνια, όπου τα μέλη της αναγκάζονται να δουλέψουν ως εργάτες, ψάχνοντας δουλειά από εδώ και από εκεί προκειμένου να επιβιώσουν...

Português
Oklahoma, Grande Depressão. Tom (Henry Fonda), filho mais velho de uma família pobre de trabalhadores rurais, regressa a casa após cumprir pena por homicídio involuntário. Ele planeia levar a familia até a Califórnia, onde dizem que trabalho não falta. Durante a viagem eles passam por diversos tipos de provações e quando finalmente chegam na "Terra Prometida" descobrem que é um lugar bem pior do que aquele que deixaram.

Català
Història d'una família de grangers d'Oklahoma, a la dècada dels 30 que després del crack del 29 són expulsats de la seva terra i han d'emigrar a Califòrnia. Realitzen un dur viatge en un vell Ford, passant per diverses vicissituds en el que creien molt erròniament que era el paradís

Magyar
A világválság idején kisbirtokos farmerek ezrei mennek tönkre. A filmbeli farmercsaládot a természeti katasztrófák és a gazdasági változások űzik el földjeiről. Számukra a nagy utazás végcélja egyet jelent a nyugalom, a biztonság és egy új otthon megtalálásával. John Ford több filmjében foglalkozott kora égető problémáival. Amellett, hogy hűen vitte filmre Steinbeck legjelentősebb regényét, tipikus Ford-művet alkotott. A cselekmény modellje kísértetiesen hasonlít a Hatosfogatéhoz, csak éppen mások a szereplők, s postakocsi helyett rozzant teherautó, indiánok helyett - ahogy Sadoul mondja - "egész Amerika a maga intézményeivel, nagybirtokosaival, rendőrségével" szerepel a filmben.

עִבְרִית
אחד הסרטים הקלאסיים הגדולים של הקולנוע המבוסס על רומן רב מכר של ג'ון סטיינבק ("קדמת עדן"). הנרי פונדה ("קלמנטיין יקירתי", "הנאשם" ואוסקר על "האגם המוזהב") מגלם את דמותו של טום ג'ואד, גבר שמשתחרר מהכלא לאחר ריצוי עונש מאסר על רצח. הוא מגיע לעיר הולדתו ומגלה שמצפה לו שיקום לא קל, משפחתו נעקרה מאדמתה ומחליטה לעבור ל"ארץ המובטחת"-קליפורניה. כגודל הציפייה, כך גודל האכזבה, המסע אל התקווה הופך לסיוט, מסע זועם של האדם הפשוט בתקופת השפל הכלכלי בארצות הברית של שנות ה-30. "ענבי זעם" היה מועמד ל-7 פרסי אוסקר וזכה ב-2 פרסים כולל הבימאי הטוב ביותר - ג'ון פורד ואוסקר משנה לשחקנית ג'יין דארוול.

Dansk
Det vises i mesterfotografen Gregg Tolands dybe, intense sort-hvide billeder den stille resignation og desperation, der herskede under depressionen, hvor millioner af amerikanere fik revet hele deres fundament bort under dem uden mulighed for at forstå, hvem eller hvad, der var skyld i ulykkerne. Efter at have udstået sin straf for manddrab løslades John Joad. Han pakker familien og sine få ejendele og begynder rejsen til det forjættede Californien, men vejen til det forjættede land er brolagt med utallige knuste skæbner.

日本語
30年代半ばの中西部の大飢饉を題材に、あからさまにニューディール政策の側に立って、アメリカ農民の詩を謳う、スタインベックの同名小説の映画化。 殺人容疑で入獄していたトムは仮釈放で4年ぶりに故郷オクラホマの農場に戻るが、小作人として働いていた一家は既に凶作の土地を逃れさったあとだった。叔父の家で家族と再会した彼は、みなで遥かカリフォルニアに行き、職を求めるのだったが……。

한국어/조선말
톰 조드는 감옥에서 막 출소하여 어머니와 가족이 있는 곳으로 돌아온다. 어쩌다 싸움에 휘말렸다가 실수로 사람을 죽여 4년을 복역한 뒤 가석방된 것이다. 하지만 돌아온 현실은 어둡기만 하다. 지독한 가뭄 그리고 거대 회사와 은행 빚에 쪼들리다 못해 가족은 쫓겨나기 직전이다. 마침내 톰 조드의 가족은 일자리가 넘친다는 낙원의 땅 캘리포니아로 이주를 결정한다. 고물 트럭에 삼대가 모두 타고 길을 떠난다. 한때는 마을의 존경받는 목사였으나 지금은 걸인이 된 케이시도 그들과 함께 간다. 하지만 우여곡절 끝에 도착한 그곳은 듣던 것과 다르다. 여기도 악독한 농장주들이 폭력과 술수를 동원해 배고픈 하층민들을 갈취하고 있다. 톰 조드는 이 모든 과정을 겪으며 사회를 보는 새로운 눈, 사회 개혁 의지를 갖게 된다.

Український
Сім'я фермерів-банкрутів із Оклахоми сподівається на краще життя в Каліфорнії, але не знаходить щастя і спокою — Велика депресія переслідує їх і на новому місці. Цей фільм в Америці вважають першою несентиментальною кінострічкою про простих людей. У своєму героєві Генрі Фонда зумів розкрити дуже важливу грань національного характеру американців — правдошукача. Представляючи величезну армію фермерів, зігнаних зі всієї землі, він є уособленням їх пошуків соціальної справедливості.

Film HROZNY HNĚVU je filmovou adaptací stejnojmenného románu Johna Steinbecka. Ford převedl na filmové plátno příběh farmářské rodiny bojující o přežití v době hospodářské krize. Písečné bouře, které páchají velké škody na majetku, donutí farmářskou rodinu Joadových opustit Oklahomu, kde se narodili a kde prožili většinu života. Rodina se rozhodne pro cestu na západ. Tři generace naloží své jmění na malý vetchý náklaďáček a vydají se hledat práci a štěstí do Kalifornie. Na západě sice dostanou synové Tom a Casey (Henry Fonda a John Carradine) místo na ovocné plantáži, ale za těžkou práci berou minimální mzdu, která sotva vystačí k životu. Dochází ke sporům mezi pomocnými a kvalifikovanými dělníky. Situace se vyhrocuje...

V času Velike depresije se Tom Joad vrača iz zapora k svoji družini v Oklahomi, a pričakajo ga gole stene zapuščene hiše. Njegovi domači so kot mnogi ostali kmetje izgubili lastništvo nad zemljo in ko jih Tom najde, se pripravljajo na selitev v Kalifornijo, od koder prihajajo spodbudne novice o blaginji in delu na plantažah in vinogradih. Tom se jim pridruži na poti, a kmalu postane jasno, da Joadovi še zdaleč niso edini, ki si obetajo boljše življenje na zahodu. Ena najslavnejših filmskih adaptacij Steinbeckovega dela, ki odlično povzame vzdušje časa, množičnih selitev in obupa, ki spodbudi upor preziranih.

Working together for the 12th time, John Wayne and director John Ford forged The Searchers into an indelible image of the frontier and the men and women who challenged it. Wayne plays ex-Confederate soldier Ethan Edwards, a believer more in bullets than in words. He's seeking his niece, captured by Comanches who massacred his family. He won't surrender to hunger, thirst, the elements or loneliness. And in his obsessive, five-year quest, Ethan encounters something he didn't expect to find: his own humanity.

Donovan's Reef summary, synopsis, reviews
Donovan's ReefComedy1963

Acclaimed director John Ford and screen legend John Wayne team up for what would be their final collaboration in this boisterous, rowdy South Seas escapade. The Duke, Lee Marvin and Jack Warden play World War II navy buddies have made the French Polynesian island of Haleakaloha their post-war paradise. Local headquarters is Donovan's Reef, Wayne's rough-and-tumble watering hole where bragging, brawling, and full-blown misbehavior are the order of the day. But destined to create more turmoil than any barroom fisticuffs is the sudden arrival of Elizabeth Allen, a straight-laced Boston blue blood. She's hoping to locate her long-estranged father (Warden), affirm that he is "not of good moral character," and then assume control of the family's shipping dynasty back home in the States. Suave, debonair Cesar Romero and a sarong-clad Dorothy Lamour add to the laughs – and mayhem – in this tropical comedy treat.
