This film essentially begins with a group of black militants getting into a violent confrontation with police which results in several police officers being shot along with a number of young black men as well. To that effect, one particular militant who is shot goes by the name of "Johnny Johnson" (Billy Dee Williams) this film focuses on him as he is being helped by his friends to a temporary safe spot. It's then that he begins to have flashbacks to conversations he has had in the past with certain other people that cause him to get to this particular point in his life. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I was a little disappointed with this film due to the rather blatant stereotypes displayed and some extremely unrealistic action scenes which resembled something one might expect from a grade-B Western with the police filling the role of the Mexican army laying siege to the brave defenders within the Alamo. Again, it was all too far-fetched and unrealistic and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
