Out of the Furnace plot
"Sometimes your battles choose you."
Russell and his younger brother Rodney live in Braddock, a village located in the economically impoverished Rust Belt in the north of America. Russell is the diligent worker of the two, who, like his dad, is content with his life as a factory worker. Rodney, on the other hand, as a soldier plagued by war trauma, tries to survive on gambling money and prize money he wins from illegal boxing fights. He finds himself in debt and out of necessity comes into contact with a group of rednecks from the mountain region above Braddock. They have their own laws and rules. It's up to Russell to keep his brother out of the oven.
