Payback - Zahltag (1999)
Nach einem erfolgreichen Raubüberfall wird Porter von seinem Partner Val Resnick hintergangen, der ihn nicht nur um 70.000 Dollar, sondern auch um seine Ehefrau Lynn erleichtert. Mit einer Kugel im Rücken wird Porter vermeintlich tot am Tatort zurückgelassen, doch sie haben den zähen Hund unterschätzt. Ein tödlicher Irrtum: Porter startet einen erbarmungslosen Rachefeldzug und will sich das zurückholen, was ihm zusteht. Es dauert nicht lange, bis er Val und Lynn ausfindig gemacht hat. Allerdings können sie ihm kein Geld geben, da sich Val mit der gesamten Beute in ein Verbrechersyndikat eingekauft hat. Doch auch angesichts einer millionenschweren, kriminellen Organisation bleibt Porter seinen Prinzipien treu und setzt seinen blutigen Feldzug unbeirrt fort...
