Revenge (1989): Cast, Box Office, Plot & Where to Watch

Michael J. “Jay” Cochran is a U.S. Navy aviator who leaves the service after twelve years and receives a matched pair of Beretta shotguns along with an invitation from his wealthy friend, Tiburon “Tibey” Mendez, to spend time at his hacienda in Mexico. Tibey is a powerful crime boss, always surrounded by bodyguards, and the invitation promises a life of luxury far from Cochran’s naval days.

In Mexico, Cochran meets Tibey’s wife, Miryea, who enjoys lavish surroundings but is clearly unhappy. She resents that her much older husband refuses to have children, which she believes would threaten her youth and beauty. From the moment Cochran arrives, Tibey’s right-hand man, Cesar, eyes him with suspicion, taking issue with Cochran’s independent streak and his reluctance to simply follow orders.
