De Waterfront Crime Commission staat op het punt publieke hoorzittingen te houden over vakbondsmisdaden en infiltratie ervan door de onderwereld. Terwijl de havenarbeiders tegen elkaar worden opgestookt, wordt Terry Malloy ongewild betrokken bij de moord op een mede havenarbeider.
Nee, helaas is De wrede haven nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
