Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Another time, another place. The Bombers, a motorcycle gang led by Raven, kidnaps rock star Ellen Aim as she is performing in concert with her band, the Attackers, in her home neighborhood of The Richmond. The kidnapping is solely in Raven's obsession with her. Waitress Reva Cody is ultimately able to convince her initially reluctant brother, former soldier Tom Cody, to rescue Ellen, his former girlfriend, who Reva believes Tom truly still loves despite she now in a relationship with her demanding manager, Billy Fish. Tom and Ellen broke up in their diverging lives. Tom uses the assistance of Fish as the bankroll, and another former soldier McCoy, who wants to eke out a career as a solder-of-fortune, they needing to penetrate into Raven's tough neighborhood of the Battery to locate Ellen. Tom realizes that it will not be as simple a job as getting in and out of the Battery with Ellen as Raven is not the type to give up with a fight, perhaps to the death. But what may be more of an issue for Tom is confronting Ellen once again, especially difficult with Fish on his team and Fish considering her now his property. Written by Huggo |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was intended to be the first in a trilogy of action films starring Michael Paré as Tom Cody. However, its failure at the box office had put an end to the project. Despite this, Pare and Deborah Van Valkenburgh reprised their roles as Cody and Reva in Road to Hell (2008), the unofficial sequel to this film which has not seen an official physical or digital release though its trailer and renditions of "Nowhere Fast," "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young" and end credits have surfaced online.

| Goofs | When the Sorels' bus is stopped by the cop roadblock, as McCoy is pulling the bus to a stop, there's a shot of her in the driver's seat. Seated directly behind Amy Madigan is a middle aged woman who looks like a crew member, present throughout the entire shot. She disappears immediately after the cut and is never seen again, nor was she a passenger on the bus prior to this scene. See more » |
