Breaking Point

Breaking Point is a 1976 Canadian-American crime drama film starring Bo Svenson, and featuring Robert Culp in a supporting role, produced and directed by Bob Clark.

Plot

While walking home one evening with his stepson Andy, former Marine and Judo instructor Michael McBain (Bo Svenson) witnesses a murder. Although initially reluctant to identify the two culprits, he is eventually persuaded to do so by Lieutenant Frank Sirriani (Robert Culp), who believes that their trial will lead to the arrest of Vincent Karbone (John Colicos), a leading construction magnate in Philadelphia and suspected leader of one of the city's most notorious Mafia gangs, whom Sirriani has been building a case against for the last 6 years. McBain testifies despite intimidation; however, to Sirriani's surprise, the two culprits refuse to name Karbone as their employer and reject the opportunity of a plea-bargain. As a result, Karbone remains legally untouchable.
