Shot in the streets and alleys of Rome, De Sica uses a real-life environment to frame his moving drama of a desperate father whose new job of delivering cinema posters is threatened when a street thief steels his bicycle. Too poor to buy another, he and his son takes to the streets in an impossible search for his bike. Cast with non-professional actors and filled with the real street life of Rome, this landmark film defined the Italian Neorealist approach with its mix of real life details, poetic imagery and warm sentimentality. De Sica uses the wandering pair to witness the lives of everyday folks, but ultimately he a paints a quiet poignant portrait of father and son, played by Lamberto Maggiorani and Enzo Staiola, whose understated performance carry the heart of the film.
