没想到69年拍的讽刺电影这么意识流了，看得好累……结局算解脱了，我也解脱了……Jane Fonda很美……据说跳舞比赛是隐喻无聊的人生的，没有谁会赢，大家只是混在其中，坚持到不能再坚持下去。而当你看透了，就会求死了。

30年代大萧条时代，有个疯狂的活动叫舞蹈马拉松，就是聚集一群绝望的男女，连续跳上50多天舞，坚持到最后的一对获得奖金。主办人Rocky很有经验，即会挑人参赛又会鼓动气氛，有点什么意外，也处理得得心应手。没啥生活目标的Gloria本来要参赛的，同伴因为咳嗽被Rocky踢走了，她就跟无所事事正好进来场馆的Robert组了一队，其他选手也各有背景，但大家同样是缺钱又绝望。

比赛相当无聊的，会有小段时间休息，但不可能长时间睡觉，一天吃七次，但吃的时候也不能停下脚步。选手们明显都是吃不上饭了，还有带孕妇妻子来参赛的农民，就为了吃饭也要坚持下去。Rocky也会调动气氛，时不时让选手表演些花样，比如水手就会跳踢踏舞。还会有观众成为赞助人，Gloria和Robert就有了一位赞助人，不过钱不是直接给他们的。Gloria越来越无力了，没想到还有竞走比赛，这对已经非常疲倦的选手们来说更是可怕，比赛真的疯狂……

演员Alice的衣服和化妆品都被偷了，一直心神不宁，Robert发现是Rocky偷拿了之后丢在垃圾堆里，他为了制造效果不择手段。Robert同情Alice，差点跟她XX，被Gloria发现，她就去找了RockyXX……这对就给拆了，Alice的原队友因为找到了工作中途离开了，要是Gloria不在限定时间内找到新的队友，就会自动弃赛了，这时水手的搭档已经体力不支了，水手与Gloria成了一对。不过在突破1000小时之后，又来了竞走比赛，水手居然死了，但Rocky让医疗队谎称他只是身体不适退赛。Alice挨过水手，知道真相，一时之间疯了，被Rocky带走了……

Robert和Gloria又成了一对，此时Rocky来找他俩，希望他们表演现场结婚，这样两人就会赢得比赛。其实赢了也得不到全部奖金，中途退赛的人一无所有，赢了却要被主办方扣除参赛期间的费用，加上表演的奖金，Gloria和Robert勉强能得到些钱。一气之下，Gloria和Robert离开了，但来到街上，Gloria要Robert开枪杀死自己，就像Robert的父亲射杀腿受伤的马一样……被逮捕时，Robert反问道：They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

The screenplay, adapted from Horace McCoy's 1935 novel of the same name, was written by James Poe and Robert E. Thompson.

Upon release it was a critical and commercial success, grossing $12.6 million on a budget of $4.86 million, becoming the sixteenth highest grossing film of 1969. Critics praised its direction, screenplay, depiction of the depression era, and performances, most notably of Fonda's, which marked a significant turning point in her career.
