"I never killed anyone that didn't deserve it."

Chopper (Eric Bana) is Mark "Chopper" Read, real-life convict and best-selling author of How to Shoot Friends and Influence People. His story is frightening, savagely funny and twisted.

The son of a devoutly religious mother and a one-time soldier with a fondness for sleeping alongside a loaded gun, Chopper dreams of making a name for himself as a legendary crime figure. His journey starts out as a wisecracking criminal failure, inside a maximum-security prison, but he manages to twist his life into a fascinating and wickedly funny take that the press and the public can't get enough of.
