Two-time Academy Award winner Michael Caine (Best Actor in a Supporting Role, The Cider House Rules, 1999 and Hannah and Her Sisters, 1986) stars as Harry Brown, an ordinary, law-abiding citizen who just wants to quietly live out his retirement. But in this desolate urban wasteland, the residents live in fear of the drug dealers who rule the streets...and the police offer little protection. When Inspector Alice Frampton (Emily Mortimer, Shutter Island) can't convict the thugs who killed Harry's best friend, he decides to take the law into his own hands. Using skills honed as a Royal Marine, Harry begins to serve his own brand of justice - and no one will stop him.
