"The Turning Point" is a 1952 crime syndicate drama starring Edmond O'Brien. It's based on Horace McCoy's novel "Storm in the City" and inspired by the Kefauver Committee hearings.
Plot
John Conroy, a crusading district attorney is tasked to crack down on a crime syndicate, which proves more dangerous because the mob has many city officials under their control. He's assisted by a newspaper man, Jerry McKibbon, who doesn't think Conroy is tough enough to handle this almost impossible assignment. McKibbon finds his efforts are also compromised by political corruption.
At the films finale, McKibbon is shot down by an assassin who was trying to kill the D.A. at a boxing match.
The film is not related to the 1977 ballet drama "The Turning Point".
