Perhaps the most famous movie scene involving an employee getting stiffed on a bonus is in the legendary film Christmas Vacation, when Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) goes absolutely ballistic after his boss fails to pay his annual bonus and instead enrolls him in the Jelly of the Month Club.  Clark eventually received his bonus (and 20% more) after Cousin Eddie dragged Clark’s boss out of his home on Christmas Eve in his pajamas.  Of course, Cousin Eddie is not option in the real world (legally).  But one real world option is the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act.
