Rod Steiger earned a Best Actor Oscarr nomination for his stunning performance in this powerful story of hope and empathy from celebrated director Sidney Lumet.
With the rise of Hitler, Prof. Sol Nazerman, a Jew, and his family were dragged to a concentration camp, where he saw his two children die and his wife raped by Nazi officers. Entire family was killed during the Holocaust. Some twenty years later, he's the owner of an East Harlem pawn shop, emotionally shut down and struggling with horrific flashbacks. Sol has little faith in his fellow man, and treats them with thinly veiled contempt. Still, Sol has the respect of his employee Jesus, who hopes to be mentored by his boss. But even this young man is pushed too far by Sol's bitterness, which results in a terrible tragedy for them both.
Is based on Edward Lewis Wallant's 1961 novel. The Pawnbroker was one of the first American films to address the Holocaust through the eyes of a survivor after the events.
