Top of the Heap is a 1972 American drama film directed by and starring Christopher St. John.
A Washington D.C. police officer, George Lattimer (St. John) is proud to be one of few African Americans in the department, despite being disrespected by his peers. While working his daily beat, he drifts into a psychedelic fantasy in which he is a hip celebrity astronaut.
It was entered into the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival, but withdrawn from that year's Cannes Film Festival.
