The film takes place in Philadelphia, telling the story of a man who seeks justice by targeting not only his family's killer but also those who have supported a corrupt criminal justice system. Law Abiding Citizen was filmed on location in Philadelphia and released theatrically by Overture Films in North America on October 16, 2009.

The film grossed $127.9 million worldwide but received generally negative reviews from critics.
