An ordinary lawman goes outside the law to carry out his own brand of justice in this dark-themed
thriller.
Frank Castle (
Thomas Jane) is an FBI agent who deeply loves his wife and son, but is also strongly devoted to his work.
Castle's investigation of a powerful crime cartel leads to a gunfight which claims the life of a young boy, whose father is underworld kingpin
Howard Saint (
John Travolta). Furious and eager for revenge,
Saint arranges for
Castle and his family to be murdered in retaliation. However, while
Castle's wife and son are killed, he somehow survives, even though he's believed to have perished. Bent on stopping
Saint once and for all,
Castle remakes himself as
The Punisher, a ruthless and heavily armed killing machine who will not rest until
Saint and his crew have been wiped clean from the Earth. Based on a
Marvel Comics character first introduced in 1974,
The Punisher also stars
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos,
Laura Elena Harring,
Roy Scheider, and
Kevin "Big Sexy" Nash.
