| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Fury |
|---|
Joe is on his way to meet his future bride, having been away making enough money to support them. On his car ride back, he is stopped by police because he matches a description of an accused kidnapper. After being sent to jail, an angry mob of locals shows up with torches, threatening to lynch the accused man. The jail catches fire and burns to the ground, and Joe is assumed dead since his body is not found.
Afterward, the real criminal is found, and the mob is sent to court accused of Joe's murder. It turns out Joe was not killed at all. He hides out of the public's sight, hoping for a guilty conviction of his would-be killers to make his revenge complete.
