Casablanca
In Casablanca, Rick Blaine, exiled American and former freedom fighter, runs the most popular bar in town. The cynical lone wolf Blaine gets two valuable letters of transit. When Nazi Major Strasser arrives in Casablanca, the sycophantic police Captain Renault does what he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader Victor Laszlo. Rick was suprised to see that Lazslo arrived with Ilsa, Rick's one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had good reason to, they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit. Well, that was their original plan but then at the air port Rick tells Lazslo to go with her and explains what she did in order for them to recieve the letters of transit, and lets them go on the plain to America.
