Born into the most abysmal poverty, in an atmosphere of violence and death, Charles Bronson emerged as one of the world's hottest box-office properties, one of its biggest money-spinning stars. His aura of danger, his finely suppressed violence and most of all his primitive animal sexuality brought the world to his feet. His physical appeal is unique - from his rugged, weathered face and steel-sinewed body to his magnetic sensuality that never fails to draw his massive audiences. But he remains a man so inaccessible, so determinedly private that few know anything of his past and private life. Until now!. At last this vivid portrait penetrates the myth, revealing Bronson's harsh, brutal background, his long struggle out of oblivion, to lay bare the truth behind his dynamic screen image.
