After a senator suddenly dies after completing (and sealing) an investigation into the nuclear power industry, the remaining senator and the state governor must decide on a person who will play along with their shady deals and not cause any problems. They decide on Billy Jack, currently sitting in prison after being sent to jail at the end of his previous film.
First of all, the premise is pretty silly. You get to appoint a senator, so you pick a man with no political experience who is serving time in jail? That just makes very little sense. But it is necessary to move the plot forward.
Unfortunately, the plot is pretty weak and is really just a ham-handed confrontation between Billy Jack and some corrupt politicians who are obsessed with building a nuclear reactor on a fault line. The plot idea is not bad, but the execution is so sloppy it seems like an amateur movie-of-the-week, not a theatrical release. Allegedly another 40 minutes of footage is floating around out there, but one has to wonder what more could have been added to this sprawling mess.
