LAW ABIDING CITIZEN is a tense, edge of your seat thriller that will make you question the lengths a good man would go for justice.
Clyde Shelton (GERARD BUTLER) is an honest, upstanding family man. Nick Rice (JAMIE FOXX) is an ambitious young prosecutor working for a safer Philadelphia.
When Clyde’s wife and young daughter are brutally murdered, Nick is assigned to the case. On the verge of sentencing, Nick sensationally cuts a deal with one of the killers, sparing him from death row.
Ten years later, the man who got away with murder is found dead. Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt before issuing a warning to Nick; either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family or key players in the trial will pay the price.
Nick now finds himself in a desperate race against time as a series of elaborate assassinations target the ranks of the city’s criminal justice system. Only he can stop the killings and to do so, he must outwit a brilliant adversary who always seems to be one step ahead.
