Death Wish

The Death Wish film series follows Paul Kersey’s transformation into a vigilante after experiencing violence and loss. In the first installment (1974), he decides to take the law into his own hands following a personal tragedy. Subsequent films, such as Death Wish II (1982) and Death Wish 3 (1985), see him fighting criminals in different cities. Even the 2018 remake reiterates this theme of personal revenge. This series, with its depiction of violence and debate on individual justice, has consistently captured audience attention.
