Joe is a 1970 American drama film written by Norman Wexler and directed by John G. Avildsen. It stars Peter Boyle, Dennis Patrick, and Susan Sarandon in her film debut.[5][6]
After his daughter's drug overdose, a business executive attacks and kills her drug-dealing boyfriend. When he and a new friend are robbed by hippies, the duo decide to perform a vigilante attack at a hippie commune in Upstate New York. The mass murder of hippies goes as planned, but the executive realizes that his daughter was among the victims.
The film's plot coincidentally resembled a real-life mass murder in Detroit, where the killer had killed his own daughter. The real-life killer gained publicity for his actions, and received letters of support by hundreds of parents. The film has received praise for its black comedy-style satire of social class.
