Death Wish [DVD]

After his wife and daughter are brutally attacked in their New York apartment, mild-mannered architect Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) loses faith in the police and takes to the streets at night as a vigilante. Michael Winner's controversial, genre-defining thriller made Bronson a household name and launched a long-running series, with a score by Herbie Hancock.
