## Synopsis

Prawo i pięść is a 1964 Polish post-war Eastern drama film directed by Jerzy Hoffman and Edward Skórzewski. Based on a 1964 novel of the same name by Józef Hen, the film sparked a lively reaction among critics: some praised its adaptation of Western conventions to the Polish context, while others criticized it for being merely an imitation of American Westerns. It has since achieved cult status and is regarded as a significant work in the history of Polish cinema.
