[edit] Basic Plot
Columbian drug lord Ramon Cota (Billy Drago) controls the cocaine industry with an iron fist. His drugs pour steadily into America, corrupting the country's youth and creating a feud between the D.E.A and San Carlos, Cota's country of origin. When Colonel Scott McCoy (Chuck Norris) , and his sworn partner Bobby Chavez attempt to bring him to court, their efforts are all in vain, as Cota easily affords the bail bond and escapes to freedom. Unable to contain his rage, Major Chavez furiously lashes out at Cota in court. After staring at a guard for a while, Cota decides to strike at Chavez through his pregnant wife and 13 year old son. Out on a personal mission of vengeance, Major Chavez is captured by Cota's forces and is tortured/killed. When a platoon of soldiers attempt to go in and bring Cota and his army down, they are taken hostage, surely to be executed soon. McCoy leads a brigade of skydiving commandoes in, along with himself, to rescue the hostages and exact violent revenge upon Cota.
