| Charles Bronson stars as Majestyk, an ex-con and Vietnam vet whose efforts to run a farm are thwarted by narrow-minded locals and corrupt cops. But when a Mafia hitman destroy's Majestyk's cops, the farmer's fuse is finally blown. With his rifle in hand and his girlfriend at the wheel, he goes after the syndicate assassin. And from high-speed back-road chases to an explosive backwoods confrontation, mobster and maverick stalk each other: two of a king, antagonists to the death. | ||||||||||||||||||

Vince Majestyk: You make sounds like you're a mean little ass-kicker...only I ain't convinced. You keep talking and I'm gonna take your head off. |
