Eugene Booth

1997年のアメリカ。世の中は文明に犯され、町には暴力が氾濫し、かつては世界の若者の憧れの地であったニューヨークは、今や巨大な監獄と化していた。そこには全米の囚人300万人が放たれ、夢も希望もない生活を送っていた。マンハッタン島の周囲は高い壁が巡らされ、全ての川には電流が流れ、常に上空をヘリコプターが旋回し、自由の女神像はリバティーアイランド・セキュリティー・コントロールと呼ばれる監視塔となっていた。

A homesteading family in 1867 Wyoming faces a crisis when the husband is killed and the wife must decide whether to remain or take her son and daughter back East.

Arthur Bishop is a veteran hit man who, owing to his penchant for making his targets' deaths seem like accidents, thinks himself an artist. It's made him very rich, but as he hits middle age, he's so depressed and lonely that he takes on one of his victim's sons, Steve McKenna, as his apprentice. Arthur puts him through a rigorous training period and brings him on several hits. As Steven improves, Arthur worries that he'll discover who killed his father.
