Details

In Law Abiding Citizen, Clyde Shelton's life is shattered when his wife and daughter are brutally murdered. The perpetrators are caught, but due to legal technicalities, the evidence against them is weak. District Attorney Nick Rice strikes a deal, allowing one of the killers to testify against the other, resulting in a lenient sentence for one of them.

Ten years later, the killer scheduled for execution faces a horrendous death as someone sabotages the procedure. Meanwhile, the other murderer is found dead in a disturbing manner. Rice suspects Shelton of orchestrating these acts of vigilante justice and has him arrested. Initially, Shelton agrees to a plea deal, but he soon changes his mind, revealing a deeper motive behind his actions.

Shelton begins a calculated plan to expose the flaws in the justice system and seek revenge for the injustice done to his family. As Rice races against time to stop him, he realizes that Shelton is always a step ahead, targeting everyone involved in the case. Rice must outsmart and apprehend Shelton before he can exact his final act of vengeance.

Law Abiding Citizen is a gripping thriller that explores the age-old question of justice versus revenge. With surprising twists and thought-provoking themes, this intense film will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
