Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Motorcycle maniacs are recruited by the U.S. government to rescue a captured CIA operative in Cambodia. The action-packed cycle drama finds the army slaughtering innocent villagers while the bikers rescue the agent. The CIA agents are painfully clueless as to the toll on human lives that follows their missions. Whenever the plot thins out, more action and violence is added. The result is a movie that even hardcore motorcycle fans will find to be as implausible as the plot. William Smith, Bernie Hamilton, and Adam Roarke appear in this uneven cinematic effort.
