What happens
The Evil That Men Do is a 1984 American action thriller film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Charles Bronson, Theresa Saldana, Joseph Maher and José Ferrer. It is adapted by R. Lance Hill (under the alias ‘David Lee Henry’) and John M. Crowther from Hill’s 1978 novel. Bronson plays a former assassin who comes out of retirement to avenge the death of his journalist friend at the hands of a torturer called "The Doctor", who works for various dictatorships worldwide, particularly those of Operation Condor. The film marks the fifth collaboration between Bronson and director Thompson, following St. Ives (1976), The White Buffalo (1977), Caboblanco (1980), and 10 to Midnight (1983).
