The Set-Up (1949)

Directed by Robert Wise, based on a poem by Joseph Moncure March. The movie is notable for its real-time narrative, running for exactly 72 minutes, which matches the duration of the events depicted on screen.

The story focuses on an aging, washed-up boxer named Bill "Stoker" Thompson, played by Robert Ryan. Stoker is set up to lose his next fight by his corrupt manager, who doesn't even bother to tell him about the fix.
