Movie Info

A motorcycle gang invades a small desert town, terrorizing everyone. Nobody's able to stop them until an ex-Vietnam combat hero (Lance Henriksen) arrives to visit a friend (George Kennedy). Although he'd hoped there would be no more violence in his life, he finds it impossible to ignore the confrontational behavior of the bikers and gives them more than they can handle when he starts striking back. ~ Rovi

It was a good basic story, "tortured hero saves town from bikers." They simply didn't have the money to make it into more than a B movie.

A very cool film from 1985, a great cast and action. Lance Henriksen stars as Ben Stryker, a former soldier on his way to Aqua Dulce, Texas to see Tick Rand (George Kennedy), a friend of his. A motorcycle gang known as the "Savages" cause trouble for the town and Stryker and Tick help fight back. The other cast members
