Background

Directed by Rod Holcomb and produced by Bob Long, the film was an NBC movie of the week.[1][2] For actor Richard Kind, this was his first time in film.[3]

Story

A young couple, a girl and guy are about to marry when they are murdered by some drug dealers. Stack, the father of the girl, is a tough former steel worker who is from the South Side of Chicago. Bradley, the father of the boy, is a successful businessman who has his own private jet. Due to the failure of the system to deal with the killers, who avoid justice, these two men from very different backgrounds have to take matters into their own hands.[4]

Sequel

In the sequel Two Fathers: Justice for the Innocent, a hunt takes place some years later when the murderer of their children escapes from prison. Both fathers reunite to find him.[5]

gollark: Well, it would probably be slipping, not tripping.
gollark: Floors can kill people, actually.
gollark: English doesn't have a formal spec or anything.
