What happens

Mr. Majestyk is a 1974 American neo-Western action thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer and written by Elmore Leonard. Charles Bronson stars as the title character Vince Majestyk, a Vietnam War veteran and ex-con who comes into conflict with gangsters who want to destroy his watermelon farm in rural Colorado. Leonard, who wrote the film with an original screenplay, took the name Majestyk from a character in his 1969 crime novel The Big Bounce. He would also write the novelization of the film.
