Do the Right Thing is a 1989 American comedy-drama film
produced, written, and directed by Spike Lee. It stars Lee, Danny
Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill
Nunn, John Turturro, and Samuel L. Jackson, and is the feature film

neighborhood's simmering racial tension between its African American and
Italian American residents, which culminates in tragedy and violence on
a hot summer day.
The film was a critical and commercial success and received numerous
accolades, including Academy Award nominations for Best Original
Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Aiello's portrayal of Sal the
pizzeria owner. It is often listed among the greatest films of all time.
In 1999, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and
aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, in its first year
of eligibility, and was selected for preservation in the National Film
Registry.
