English Summary:
Death Wish is a 1974 American vigilante action film loosely based on the 1972 novel of the same title by Brian Garfield. The film was directed by Michael Winner and stars Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, an architect who becomes a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter sexually assaulted during a home invasion. This would become the beginnings of a Death Wish franchise, when later on Death Wish II and others followed suit.
Paul Kersey is an architect living in Manhattan with his wife Joanna. One day, Joanna and their grown daughter, Carol are followed home from D'Agostino's by three thugs, who invade the apartment by posing as deliverymen. Upon finding that Carol and Joanna only have $7 on them, the thugs rape Carol and brutally beat Joanna before fleeing. Upon arriving at the hospital, Paul is devastated to learn that Joanna has died from her injuries. After his wife's funeral during a snowstorm in Connecticut, Paul has an encounter with a mugger in a darkened street. Paul fights back with a homemade weapon, an improvised blackjack made from a sock with two rolls of quarters in it, causing the mugger to run away. Paul is shaken and energized by the encounter.
