Bruce Willis stars in '70s cult fave 'Death Wish' remake

Bruce Willis stars as Paul Kersey in "Death Wish." Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures/Takashi Seida

(As released) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures presents director Eli Roth’s reimagining of the classic 1974 revenge thriller “Death Wish.”

Dr. Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis) is a surgeon who only sees the aftermath of Chicago violence when it is rushed into his ER – until his wife (Elisabeth Shue) and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are viciously attacked in their suburban home. With the police overloaded with crimes, Paul, burning for revenge, hunts his family’s assailants to deliver justice. As the anonymous slayings of criminals grabs the media’s attention, the city wonders if this deadly vigilante is a guardian angel or a grim reaper.

Fury and fate collide in the intense, action-thriller “Death Wish.”

Paul Kersey becomes a divided person: A man who saves lives, and a man who takes them; a husband and father trying to take care of his family, and a shadowy figure fighting Chicago crime; a surgeon extracting bullets from suspects’ bodies, and the vigilante called “The Grim Reaper” who detectives are quickly closing in on.

Updated from the original novel by Brian Garfield,  director Eli Roth  and screenwriter Joe Carnahan’s (“The Grey,” “Narc”) “Death Wish” also stars Vincent D’Onofrio (“The Magnificent Seven,” TV’s “Daredevil and Law & Order: Criminal Intent”), Elisabeth Shue (“Leaving Las Vegas”), Camila Morrone, Dean Norris (“Breaking Bad”) and Kimberly Elise (“The Great Debaters”). It’s a knife’s-edge portrayal that challenges our assumptions, and pushes our buttons.

By bringing the complex psychology of Brian Garfield’s book up-to-the-moment and injecting new thrills and a stark, unflinching look at the American psyche in 2017, Eli Roth and “Death Wish” brings audiences to the height of unforgettable suspense.

A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures production, “Death Wish” is set for release on Nov. 22, 2017. It will be distributed in the U.S. by APR and internationally by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
