What happens

Death Wish 4: The Crackdown is a 1987 American vigilante action-thriller film, a sequel to the 1985 film Death Wish 3 and the fourth installment in the Death Wish film series. The film was directed by J. Lee Thompson, and features Charles Bronson, who reprises his leading role as Paul Kersey. In the film, Kersey is once again forced to become a vigilante after his girlfriend Karen Sheldon's daughter Erica dies of a drug overdose. He is recruited by a tabloid owner, Nathan White (John P. Ryan), to take down various crime figures of the Los Angeles drug trade. Michael Winner, who directed the first three films in the series, was replaced by J. Lee Thompson. Death Wish 4: The Crackdown had a substantially lower budget and a more limited release than its predecessors. It was released in North America on November 6, 1987. The Bollywood film Mohra is an unofficial remake of the film. The film marks the seventh collaboration between Bronson and director J. Lee Thompson, following 1976's St. Ives, 1977's The White Buffalo, 1980's Caboblanco, 1983's 10 to Midnight, 1984's The Evil That Men Do, and 1986's Murphy's Law. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
