Plot
Taxi driver József Simon is robbed by two elderly lady passengers. In vain does the divorced, debt-ridden man turn to the police, they don't believe him. He starts doing his own investigation to find the thieves. Since he has lost faith in justice being served legally, he sets off on a one-man revenge campaign.
Soundtrack
The theme song of The Vulture was composed by György Kovács. Its melody is very similar to that of Airport by The Motors, although whether this is coincidental is not known.
