Wetbacks is a 1956 American crime film directed by Hank McCune and starring Lloyd Bridges, Nancy Gates and Barton MacLane. An independent production, the title is a reference to "wetbacks" a now derogatory term for immigrants coming into the United States across the Mexican border. Location shooting took place around Santa Catalina Island and San Pedro in Los Angeles. It has plot similarities to the 1950 film The Breaking Point.
