Il grido (English: "The Cry", initially released as The Outcry in the US) is a 1957 road drama film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, Dorian Gray, Gabriella Pallotta and Betsy Blair.

An Italian and American co-production, the film premiered at the 1957 Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Golden Leopard. In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."
