Plot Summary

Bronson tells the story of Michael Gordon Peterson, who was sentenced to seven years in prison in 1974 for armed robbery. However, his violent behavior and frequent altercations with prison staff turned that sentence into over 30 years of solitary confinement. During his incarceration, he adopted the persona "Charles Bronson," named after the American action movie star.

The film presents his life through a surreal, theatrical lens, with Bronson often breaking the fourth wall to narrate his life directly to the audience.
