In David Cronenberg’s subtly provocative thriller, all is not as it seems. A History of Violence stars Viggo Mortensen in a haunting, layered performance as Tom Stall — a small-town husband and father suddenly thrust into the spotlight after he kills two men during an attempted robbery. But his lethal precision raises unsettling questions: who is he really, and what darkness lies beneath his calm exterior?

Working with an exceptional cast including Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, Cronenberg deconstructs the myth of the American action hero, exploring identity, morality, and the paradoxical allure of violence. A History of Violence 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray captures this modern classic in a striking new restoration approved by Cronenberg himself.
