Death Wish is a 1974 American vigilante action film, loosely based on the 1972 novel of the same name by Brian Garfield. The film was directed by Michael Winner and stars Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey, a man who becomes a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter sexually assaulted during a home invasion. It was the first of the Death Wish film franchise.

At the time of release, the film was attacked by many film critics due to its support of vigilantism and advocating unlimited punishment of criminals. The novel denounced vigilantism, whereas the film embraced the notion. The film was a commercial success and resonated with the public in the United States, which was facing increasing crime rates during the 1970s.

This is a CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc). NOT a laserdisc, dvd, or any other media format. It requires a CED player to watch. Please be sure that your player and stylus are in perfect working order before assuming that the disc is faulty. Also, be aware that the technology behind the CED results in occasional jumps or skips in playback. Repeating playback more than once tends to help this problem, but if you are a collector of CEDs, you already know this. CED stands for Capacitance Electronic Disc, which refers to the method used to encode the video and audio information on the disc surface. Capacitance can be defined as the ability of two adjacent conductors to store electric charge, and in the CED system these adjacent conductors are the carbon-loaded disc and the thin titanium electrode deposited on the diamond stylus. The mathematical formula for capacitance contains several variables, but with the CED system these variables are all nearly constant except one-- the distance between the electrode and the surface of the disc immediately under it. Within the grooves on the disc surface are microscopic peaks and valleys, several times smaller than the diamond stylus, which rides smoothly on the crests of several adjacent peaks. But the electrode is much smaller than the stylus, so the distance between the electrode and disc surface is constantly changing as peaks and valleys pass underneath. This varying distance produces a varying capacitance, from which the audio/video signals are eventually decoded by the player's signal processing circuitry. I will do everything possible to make sure you receive a disc that is enjoyable to watch. Due to the age of these, the caddies may be soiled, have rips or torn spots, have stickers or writing on them, bubbling on artwork, and have fading. For this reason (and not having a player to test), they are sold as is.
