The Equalizer

Robert McCall, an elderly African-American former CIA agent, has decided to start a new life, leave his troubled past behind, and look to the future, as he promised his late wife. He has already found a regular job as a store clerk. One day, McCall intervenes on behalf of Teri, a young prostitute he met at a local diner who is under the control of the Russian mafia. McCall abandons his voluntary retirement and embarks on a personal quest for justice. Those who suffer from criminal lords, corrupt officials, and lack access to government assistance find solace in McCall's presence. He is a great equalizer.
