Plot Summary: In 1974, a misguided 19-year-old named Michael Peterson decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so, with a homemade sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail, Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years, 30 of which have been spent in solitary confinement. With an intelligent, provocative and stylized approach, "Bronson" (based on a true story) follows the metamorphosis of Mickey Peterson into Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson.

An action movie/biography of Charles Bronson? I imagine the approach will be something like "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", wherein Lee's life was done as a narrative WITH a good supply of martial-arts sequences. This Bronson movie will just substitute bare-knuckle brawling and, of course, Death Wish-style gunplay.

This is based on the life of notorious British prisoner and nutter Charlie Bronson, not Death Wish actor Charles Bronson!
