This was the pilot film-and a reasonably good one-for Norris' CBS TV weekly Walker, Texas Ranger. Cordell Walker (Norris) must deal with a gang of well-organized bank robbers in this one. He also must deal with the wholesale theft of entire scenes by supporting actor Clarence Gilyard Jr., who plays Walker's new partner--a man who shares a past with one of the robbers. Originally telecast April 21, 1993, One Riot, One Ranger costars Sheree J. Wilson as Walker's friendly enemy, Fort Worth prosecutor Alex Cahill.
