A history of violence / New Line Cinema presents a Benderspink production in association with Media I! Filmproduktion München GmbH & Co. KG ; a film by David Cronenberg ; produced by Chris Bender, JC Spink ; screenplay by Josh Olson ; directed by David Cronenberg.
Tom is a loving, well-respected family man from a small Indiana town. When two criminals show up at his diner, Tom is forced to take action and thwart the robbery attempt. Suddenly heralded as a local hero who took the courage to stand up to crime, people look up to Tom as a man of high moral regard. But all the media attention attracts the likes of the mob, who show up at Tom's doorstep. Is it a case of mistaken identity or does Tom have a history that no one knows about?
