小邁克爾目睹了一起殺人案，他的行為也被幫會知悉了。幫會怕他走漏風聲，然而邁克爾卻以“他是我的兒子”為由保證他一定不會走漏消息。然而，邁克爾的妻子和他的小兒子卻遭幫會誤殺了，他們本來的目標是他和小邁克爾。父子兩開始了亡命天涯和復仇之路!
Filming took place in the Chicago area. Mendes, having recently finished 1999's acclaimed American Beauty, pursued a story that had minimal dialogue and conveyed emotion in the imagery. Cinematographer Conrad L. Hall took advantage of the environment to create symbolism for the film, for which he won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The film explores several themes, including the consequence of violence and father-son relationships.
