Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) is living a happy and quiet life with his lawyer wife (Maria Bello) and their two children in the small town of Millbrook, Indiana.
One night, though, their idyllic existence is shattered when Tom foils a vicious attempted robbery in his diner. Heralded as a hero, Tom’s life is changed overnight, attracting a national media circus, which forces him into the spotlight.
Uncomfortable with his newfound celebrity, Tom tries to return to the normalcy of his ordinary life only to be confronted by a mysterious and threatening man (Ed Harris) who arrives in town believing Tom is the man who’s wronged him in the past. As Tom and his family fight back against this case of supposed mistaken identity and struggle to cope with their changed reality, they are forced to confront their relationships and the divisive issues which surface as a result.
A History of Violence is loosely based on the graphic novel by Vince Locke and John Wagner.
