Director: Joseph Merhi Cast: Michael Madsen, Roy Scheider, Keith David, Angie Everhart, Dayton Callie, Kathy Christopherson, Gareth Williams, Robert Miano, Matthias Hues, Mike Genovese, Jana Robbins, Sal Landi
Stunt driver Nick (Michael Madsen) is on his way to prison when he is "rescued" by gunmen. The reason for the rescue soon becomes apparent to him: he is to drive the getaway car in a plot to capture the U.S. President (Roy Scheider). Lots of action–especially in the early part of the film that features crashes and car chases. Another film where ex-military men decide to take over when they're not happy with current policies–in this case, the cancellation of the "Star Wars" program.
