Street Justice is a 1987 American action film directed by Richard C. Sarafian.

The plot involves CIA agent Curt Flynn (Michael Ontkean) who narrowly avoids death in a bombing, escapes from imprisonment by the Soviets, and returns to his New Jersey hometown. There he attempts to protect his wife Catherine (Joanna Kerns) from a corrupt family which controls the town.[1][2]

Despite being set in New Jersey, the bulk of filming took place in Toronto.[3]

Street Justice was Dukes of Hazzard star Catherine Bach's debut as a lead in a feature film.[4]
