""Walt Kowalski vient à peine d'enterrer son épouse lorsqu'il surprend Thao, son jeune voisin, en train d'essayer de voler sa voiture de collection. Quelques jours plus tard, alors que les membres d'un petit gang dirigé par le cousin de Thao viennent réquisitionner ce dernier de force, le vieux retraité des usines Ford sort son fusil et effraie les voyous. Les nombreuses familles asiatiques du voisinage accourent pour le remercier avec des cadeaux. Vétéran de la guerre de Corée et raciste ordinaire, Walt rejette ces serments d'amitié, mais Sue, la soeur de Thao, persiste. Elle finit même par le convaincre de prendre le jeune homme à son service afin qu'il s'acquitte de sa dette envers lui. Une amitié se tisse peu à peu entre les deux hommes, sous le regard du curé désireux de conduire ce vieil athée malcommode au confessionnal." [(c) Médiafilm]."

"Walt Kowalski, un jubilado veterano de la Guerra de Corea, no se siente confoeme con el rumbo que ha tomado su vida, ni con la reciente transformación de su vecindario. De hecho, no le agradan los inmigrantes del Sudeste de Asia que tiene como vecinos. Pero las circunstancias forzan a Walt a defender a tales vecinos contra una pandilla local que se ha encargado de fomentar la violencia y el miedo. Clint Eastwood trabaja, por primera vez después de Golpes del destino, frente y fuera de cabmaras, ganando con esto el Premio National Board of Review como Mejor Actor por su convincente actuación como Kowalski, a la cual se suma su experiencia y gracia para lograr una "actuación de excelente calidad al estilo Eastwood."
"Walt Kowalski ha perso la moglie e la presenza dei figli con le relative famiglie, al funerale non gli è di alcun conforto. Così come non gli è gradita l'insistenza con cui il giovane parroco cerca di convincerlo a confessarsi. Walt è un veterano della guerra in Corea e non sopporta di avere, nell'abitazione a fianco, una famiglia di asiatici di etnia Hmong. Le uniche sue passioni, oltre alla birra, sono il suo cane e un'auto modello Gran Torino che viene sottoposta a continua manutenzione. La sua vita cambia il giorno in cui il giovane vicino Thao, spinto dalla gang capeggiata dal cugino Spider, si introduce nel suo garage avendo come mira l'auto. Walt lo fa fuggire ma di lì a poco tempo assisterà a una violenta irruzione dei membri della gang con inatteso sconfinamento nella sua proprietà. In quell'occasione sottrarrà Thao alla violenza del branco ottenendo la riconoscenza della sua famiglia. (Myvmovies)."
