When Major Charles Rane (William Devane) returns home to San Antonio,
Texas, he is given a true hero’s welcome. He and his friend, John Vohden
(Tommy Lee Jones) have endured 8 years of physical and mental torture
in a POW camp, but the adjustment isn’t going to be easy. His wife has
fallen in love with another man, and his son, whom he adores, no longer
remembers him. In Rane’s own mind, he is a walking dead man – he died
the day he was taken prisoner.
However, what Rane doesn’t know is that his experiences as a POW are nothing compared to the ordeal he is about to face.
The unthinkable happens and Rane, subdued and more distant than when he
returned, is forced to plan out his own justice, with the help of his
friend Vohden. But there is no sense of pleasure in his task; only the
ice cold determination of a man who has suffered too much and refuses to
be stopped.
