Mr Majestyk (Bronson) is an ex-con and Vietnam vet whose efforts to run a normal life as a farmer are thwarted by narrow-minded locals and corrupts cops. When a Mafia hitman destroys Majestyk’s crop, the farmer snaps. Taking his rifle in hand, he goes after the syndicate assassin, refusing to stop until his work is done.

Written for the screen by Elmore Leonard (Out of Sight, Get Shorty), directed by Richard Fleischer (10 Rillington Place, Soylent Green) and starring cinema tough guy Charles Bronson (The Dirty Dozen, Death Wish), Mr Majestyk is a gritty action film full of car chases, shoot-outs and bare-knuckle brawls.
