On the edge of a big city on a go-kart track, Mike and Werner meet Alice and her friends. They like the girl. Mike manages to separate Alice from her group and get into the car with Werner. It had been decided to go to a lake with the others to take a bath at night. Too late Alice realizes that Mike and Werner did not drive to the agreed lake, but to a lonely gravel pit. The friends will not come anymore. And she realizes the intentions of her companions.
Directed by Roger Fritz, The Brutes leans on a strong ensemble — Helga Anders, Klaus Löwitsch, Arthur Brauss — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1970.
