Starring Gary Busey, he plays ex Vietnam Nam vet, Buck Matthews coming back from serving prison time to his child hood home. At the same token a drug cartel, Jamie (Jorge Gil ) is also released at the same time. And feels he is obligated to owe Buck as a result of something that happened when they were in prison. All is okay until he felt obligated to save this nurse from getting assaulted by motorcycle bike riders. And as a result of buck saving this nurse, the leader of this gang, Blade (William Smith) retaliates by smashing into his home killing his wife and paralyzing his 5 yr old daughter. Making life much more difficult for Buck is the fact that the town's head sheriff (Seymour Cassel) happens to be on the payroll of the biker gang., turning a blind eye to their illegal dealings with cocaine and guns. It was at this point he seeks the aid of his former Vietnam vet and friend, JB (Yaphet Kotto) as well as the cartel Buck interacted who offered him a favor at the opening. He does this by having a former relative send him an one-of-a-kind bullet proof pick-up truck with machine gun fire both at the front and cannon bombs installed at the back. The end action sequence is reminiscent of those low budgeted futuristic action movies David Carradine is so accustomed to making with explosions and all studios looking for a quick buck.
