Quick Answer

What is Revenge for a Rape about?

Revenge for a Rape is a 1976 American crime drama thriller directed by Timothy Galfas about a husband who hunts down the men who attacked his wife during a camping trip.

Programmer's Pick

This isn't your average made-for-TV drama—Revenge for a Rape trades fishing rods for firearms and small-town peace for primal justice. With Mike Connors in grim avenger mode and Robert Reed as the uneasy sheriff, the film leans into the discomfort of its premise and the raw nerve of vigilante revenge.

Overview

When Travis Green and his wife Amy set out for a tranquil camping and fishing escape, their retreat is shattered by a brutal attack that leaves Amy traumatized. What follows is a tense crime drama, as Travis, unable to rely on the small town sheriff’s limited reach, decides to track down the three men responsible for the assault. Set against the backdrop of wilderness and small-town suspicion, the film delves into themes of justice, vengeance, and the psychological toll of violence. The story unfolds as a chase—part manhunt, part personal reckoning—unspooling the dynamics of a community confronted by cruelty and the lengths one man will go to for retribution.
