Shaft

While the Black Power movement was reshaping America, trailblazing

director Gordon Parks made this groundbreaking blockbuster, which helped

launch the blaxploitation era and introduced a new kind of

badder-than-bad action hero in John Shaft (Richard Roundtree, in a

career-defining role), a streetwise New York City private eye who is as

tough with criminals as he is tender with his lovers. After Shaft is

recruited to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Harlem mob boss from

Italian gangsters, he finds himself in the middle of a rapidly

escalating uptown vs. downtown turf war. A vivid time capsule of gritty

seventies Manhattan that has inspired sequels and multimedia reboots

galore, the original Shaft is studded with indelible elements\u2014from Roundtree\u2019s sleek leather fashions to the iconic funk and soul score by Isaac Hayes.
