In 1981 New York, a fuel supplier tries to adhere to his own moral compass amid the rampant violence, corruption and decay that threaten his family and his business.
A MOST VIOLENT YEAR takes place in 1981, which, according to statistical data, is said to be the most violent year in the city’s history. This period for New York was rife with tumult and financial upheaval; it was just six years earlier that Manhattan defaulted on its loans and inspired the legendary New York Post headline after then President Ford refused a Federal bailout: “Ford to NYC: Drop Dead.” The violence in Chandor’s newest work reflects not only the physical threat contained in Manhattan but the relationship dangers faced by a young married couple Abel (Oscar Isaac) and Anna (Jessica Chastain), as both are forced to confront the shifting tides of violence as it relates to them and to the world outside their doors—especially after Abel’s own connection to inflicting pain become evident.
