Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) is a quiet family man living a peaceful life with his wife and children in a small Indiana town. He runs a local diner and enjoys a simple existence, far removed from danger.

But when two violent criminals attempt to rob his diner, Tom reacts with unexpected skill, killing both attackers and becoming a national hero overnight.

His sudden fame attracts the attention of a mysterious gangster named Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris), who claims that Tom is actually someone else — a dangerous man with a violent past.

With powerful performances, shocking twists and intense psychological tension, A History of Violence explores the dark consequences of violence and the secrets people keep.
