Mandingo is set on a decaying Alabama plantation called Falconhurst. The plot revolves around the twisted relationships between the slave-owning Maxwell family and their human property. The slave Mede (played by former heavyweight boxing champion Ken Norton) is the "Mandingo" of the title, a slave purchased specifically for his fighting and breeding capabilities. The film spares no detail in depicting the cruelty of the antebellum South. It features gruesome forced prizefights, graphic sexual violence, and scenes that remain shocking by modern standards. The master, Hammond Maxwell (Perry King), violently rapes a female slave, and his neglected wife, Blanche (Susan George), later coerces Mede into a sexual relationship by threatening to accuse him of rape.
