Tom Stall leidt een rustig leventje met zijn echtgenote Edie en hun twee kinderen in een kleine stad in de Verenigde Staten. Een onverwacht en bloederig incident in zijn restaurant zet hem plotseling in de schijnwerpers. Hij krijgt als "held" veel aandacht in de media en dat wekt de belangstelling van een aantal beruchte criminelen.
Nee, helaas is A History of Violence nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
