Sette anni dopo la morte della moglie, trasferitosi a Los Angeles per far curare la figlia, l'architetto Paul Kersey ha una relazione con la radio-giornalista Geri. Ricominciata una nuova vita, ecco che una banda di sei teppisti spacciatori sevizia ed uccide la domestica e violentano e inducono al suicidio la figlia, ancora traumatizzata dalla prima aggressione. Kersey si rimette sul sentiero di guerra e li ammazza uno ad uno.
