The great Edward Woodward is middle-aged, newly retired government agent Robert McCall, equipped with an arsenal that would make Kim Jong-Un jealous. Keen to atone for such past sins as toppling foreign governments and walking out on his family, he offers his services free of charge through a newspaper ad that states: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer." He is the desperate citizen's last resort: employing a mainly brains-over-brawn approach (he's not exactly Jason Statham), the silver-haired guardian angel bales out the victims of drug-dealers, racists, corrupt cops, vengeful jailbirds and mobsters. Unresolved agency business regularly returns to haunt him, courtesy of "Control", his former boss, as well as the KGB. And then there's a fractious relationship with his son to rebuild.

A film adaptation starring Denzel Washington was released in 2014.
