Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Paul Kersey, the soft-spoken family man with the knack for wasting street scum, hoped that, after cleaning an entire neighbourhood in Death Wish 3 (1985), he would hang up his guns and lead a peaceful life. Instead, chaos and disaster are rampant on the city's mean streets. And with unscrupulous international drug dealers supplying 90% of Los Angeles' narcotics, it is up to Kersey to stop their reign of terror. When an innocent dies of an overdose, Paul's stainless-steel Ruger Mini-14 GB-F semi-automatic rifle has the final say. Who can stand in the way of justice and an angry Paul Kersey?
