Death Wish (1974)

In the bustling heart of Manhattan, Paul Kersey, a successful architect and conscientious objector, lives a serene life, cherishing the love of his wife and grown-up daughter. His world, built on harmony and simplicity, is suddenly shattered into a thousand pieces when a savage gang of street thugs brutally invades his sanctuary, leaving a trail of tragedy and devastation. His once idyllic life is replaced by a bitter taste of injustice and despair, as the local police department's futile efforts to bring the culprits to justice become glaringly apparent. Returning from a vacation with his wife, the open-minded Kersey finds himself on a collision course with reality. His coworker's cynical warning about the city's escalating crime rate rings chillingly true when the sanctity of his home is violated, turning his world upside down. The brutal attack on his family leaves him grappling with a crushing sense of hopelessness, exacerbated by the police's inability to crack the case. A glimmer of hope emerges when his empathetic boss sends him on an assignment in sun-drenched Arizona, where he is introduced to the bold and unsparing ideals of the Old West. This experience shifts his perspective, awakening a relentless desire for retribution within him that could only be quenched by taking law into his own hands. Transformed by his thirst for justice, the once-peaceful family man becomes a relentless vigilante, wielding his deadly .32 calibre Colt Police Positive revolver and prowling the dark alleys of New York. His mission: to cleanse the city's mean streets of muggers and killers. As Kersey delves deeper into this dangerous world of vigilante justice, he becomes the embodiment of the very death wish he seeks to impose. Will the man who once abhorred violence be consumed by his bloody crusade? Or will his quest for justice bring about a change in the city that never sleeps? As Paul Kersey steps into the shadows, nobody, not a single mugger or murderer, can hide from his unyielding gaze.
