Hard Times (The Streetfighter)

In the middle of the Great Depression, Chaney (Charles Bronson, Death Wish) is just looking to catch a break.

When he meets Speed (James Coburn, The Magnificent Seven), a promoter of bare-knuckle street fighting, Chaney thinks with his fighting skill and Speed's savvy, he might have a chance. But Speed has his own problems, and what seemed like a sure thing is not as simple.

Directed by Walter Hill (48 Hrs), and also starring Jill Ireland (The Mechanic, 1972) and Strother Martin (Cool Hand Luke), HARD TIMES is a gritty, compelling drama.
