SUMMARY - A Rage in Harlem starts its story in Mississippi where a recent gold mine robbery turns into a bloody shootout. Imabelle (played by Robin Givens) escapes with the trunk, leaving her boyfriend and his gang behind. Hiding in Harlem she finds a patsy in the form of the God-fearing undertaker Jackson (played by Forest Whitaker) who she can use while looking for a buyer. As more people become aware of the gold, the more danger they both face, especially when her gangster boyfriend reaches New York.

Based on the novel by Chester Himes; Screenplay by John Toles-Bey and Bobby Crawford; Directed by Bill Duke, and released on May 3, 1991.
