The Breaking Point is the second film adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel "To Have and Have Not." The film, considered more faithful to the novel than the Humphrey Bogart starring film of the 1940s, was directed by Michael Curtiz.

He begins to work with a shady lawyer who persuades him to run illegal immigrants into California.
