English Summary:
Mr. Majestyk is a 1974 American action film directed by Richard Fleischer and written by Elmore Leonard. Charles Bronson stars as the title character, a melon farmer and Vietnam War veteran who comes into conflict with gangsters. Leonard, who wrote the film with an original screenplay, took the name Majestyk from a character in his 1969 crime novel The Big Bounce. He would also write the novelization of the film.
Vince Majestyk (Charles Bronson) is a farmer, an ex-con, a former U. S. Army Ranger instructor and Vietnam War veteran, who owns and operates a watermelon farm in rural Colorado. He needs to harvest his crop soon in order to keep the farm financially solvent.
A small-time hood, Bobby Kopas (Paul Koslo), attempts to coerce Majestyk into a protection racket of using unskilled drunks to harvest his watermelon crop. Majestyk runs him off with Kopas's own shotgun and hires experienced Mexican migrant workers, including Nancy Chavez (Linda Cristal), a crops picker who is also a union leader. They are romantically attracted to each other. Kopas brings assault charges against Majestyk, resulting in the farmer being placed under arrest before he can finish the harvest.
Hungarian Summary:
A vietnami veterán Vince Majestyk dinnyét termeszt a farmján. Jól megy a bolt, a gazda megbecsüli a birtokán dolgozó mexikói idénymunkásokat is. Amikor Majestyk emiatt összetűzésbe keveredik a környékbeli gengszterekkel, a rendőrök végül őt tartóztatják le. A rendőrőrsről át akarják szállítani a rabokat a börtönbe. A buszt azonban megtámadják Frank Renda emberei, hogy kiszabadítsák a főnöküket. Az összebilincselt Vince és Frank együtt menekül, ám a gengszter meglepetésére a farmer nem adja őt át az embereinek. Amikor a maffiózó megszökik, bosszút esküszik.
