Inspired by a true story, Bronson is an example of how much trouble a young adult with a head full of dreams can land in. The year is 1974 in a city setting. Michael Peterson who has just turned 19 is feeling confident of going after his dream. There is however a challenge that he has to overcome, he needs cash. It is clear to him that what stands between him and his dream is the post office.
The scheming begins with several solitary walks. Michael sets up the plot by writing a list of what he needs. First on the list is to forcefully break into the post office. He does a reconnaissance tour of the mind round the city and the post office. He has to get a powerful gun, but this is not an easy task given the fact that he has no licensed gun. He lays his hands on an old sawn-off shotgun and gets ready for his mission. Michael strikes, but he is not lucky, this first time attempt lands him in trouble. He is swiftly apprehended by the police. The judge is not sympathetic and hands him a 7 years sentence in jail to teach him a lesson and cut off the budding criminal mind.
The seven years are a pale shadow of what is to come. He is subsequently arrested in more than 30 incidences. He spends a total of 34 years behind bars. Many of these times, he is in solitary confinement. Instead of shaping Michael to Mr. Nice, the 34 years in jail serve as the best school for his creative and sharp mind. He emerges as more hardened criminal and good at scheming. The rest of the story is scaring; it is beyond imagination as you experience on movie the making of the most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson. Watch out for the new release, you cannot miss this!
