Vigilante Force is a 1976 action movie directed by George Armitage. A sleepy little town is assaulted by gangs of hoodlums. The local police is powerless, so town authorities decide to hire a Vietnam War veteran Aaron Arnold (Kris Kristofferson) and a company of his buddies as a posse. Arnold establishes the law in the town, but this is his own law...
