Plot:

One night, Brick Pollitt places the obstacle course barriers along the stadium, remembering his time as a football player. Although he is drunk, he decides to complete the course, but falls, breaking his leg and having to resort to crutches until he heals. Together with his wife, Maggie "the cat", he is visiting his parents in their house in Mississippi, to celebrate the 65th birthday of his father, Harvey "Big Daddy". Depressed, Brick spends his days locked in the house, drinking whiskey and remaining impassive in the face of his wife's attempts at seduction, as well as her doubts about the loyalty of Brick's older brother and sister-in-law, regarding their father's inheritance.

Harvey, Brick's father, returns from the hospital, is unaware that he is terminally ill with cancer because his family and doctors refuse to tell him about it; not even his wife, "Big Mama", knows the truth about her husband's health. When the doctor also reveals to Brick the real health conditions of his father, throwing him even more into despair, Maggie works for a rapprochement between father and son, but Brick refuses. A heated argument begins between him and his father and when Harvey, furious with Brick because he is an alcoholic, presses him asking him the reason for his obstinacy, the angry son tries to escape, but is held back by Maggie who invites him to calm down and think. The reason behind Brick's depression is the suicide of his close friend Skipper, a teammate of his football team. Brick is convinced that Skipper's extreme gesture was influenced by Maggie's jealousy, who could not stand their friendship. In a crescendo of dialogues, family truths emerge dramatically: Maggie, jealous of Skipper's dependence on her husband and unhappy for not having been able to have children, admits to having seduced Skipper to distance him from Brick, discrediting him in her eyes. Filled with shame, Skipper, after having tried in vain to contact Brick, committed suicide, and Brick, while blaming his wife, is actually consumed by remorse for not having answered his friend's desperate phone calls. In the meantime, Brick has broken down the wall of fiction around his father by revealing to him that his illness is incurable and he, after realizing the bitter reality, calls the family together. He then discovers the attempt to deceive him by his eldest son and daughter-in-law; he understands that deep down his wife Ida, who remained faithfully by his side for thirty years, perhaps deserves something. He decides to spend the remaining time visiting his properties and dedicating time to his loved ones, remembering his father, who died in absolute poverty leaving him only a cardboard suitcase: "I loved that vagabond" Big Daddy will say.

The tough but fair confrontation with his father relieves Brick who, although he detests lies and hypocrisy, indulges his wife's compassionate lie when she declares she is pregnant only to give one last joy to her sick father-in-law. Finally Brick and Maggie abandon themselves to a liberating kiss.
