Storyline

In the early 1970s, when violent crime in the United States was rising, this film boldly advocated "an eye for an eye," letting victims take justice into their own hands and strike back violently against criminals, sparking heated discussion upon its release. Action star Charles Bronson plays a gentle businessman whose life changes completely after his wife and daughter are raped by thugs and his wife is killed. He begins to actively seek out and punish potential violent criminals on the dark streets of New York, leaving the police puzzled by this mysterious city vigilante: is this really the only way to fight crime effectively? Director Michael Winner successfully portrays a hero who resorts to violence after being pushed to the limit, and his actions generally win audience approval. Bronson's performance is outstanding, and Jeff Goldblum makes his film debut as one of the thugs. The film adopts an extremely realistic approach to violence, far from the entertainment-oriented tendency, and spawned four sequels in 1982, 1985, 1987, and 1994, which were poorly received for lacking originality.
