Rolling Thunder (1977)

DIR. JOHN FLYNN

Major Charles Rane spent seven years being done wrong in a POW camp in Vietnam. Now he's home, finds out some friendly sheriff decided his wife and kid could use a new man around the house. Well, that's gonna be it's gonna be. But the couple thousand silver dollars he picked up at his homecoming celebration got the local scumbags all riled up and slobbering. They torture him and mess up his hand bad, try to make him give up the silver. Hell, go on and add a minute or two on top of seven years. It's when the slobbering jerks put a bullet in his wife, his son, and his hand has been utterly done wrong. First step, live through the gunshot. Next step is either provide descriptions of the killers to the police and take a nap, or to sharpen his new prosthetic hook hand, saw off a double-barrel, and head toward Mexico for some scumbag hunting. Guess which.
