A soldier returns home to find that the town's biggest source of income has been closed down and in place a casino has been built. When his friends take him to the casino for a night out on the town, he confronts a dealer about loaded dice and ends up in a huge fight with the security, after being knocked out, he is taken to a back room and has his stomach cut up. The law does nothing but allow an in house investigation. The line is finally crossed when drugs that the casino has been dealing out to kids ends up in the hands of the Chris's nephew and places him in the hospital. When the law again does nothing, he goes into the casino, beats up half the security staff with a plank of wood and ends up in court. After winning the case, he runs for Sheriff and is elected. He then proceeds to fire each and every one of the officers there and brings in his best friend to help him clean up the town in which he succeeds and gets the girl in the end as well.
I love this movie, I've seen it countless times and I think it displays the feelings of society very well when it comes to what they want to happen when a town is full of corruption. Everyone wants a real life hero to come and save the people when no one else can stand up to the villains.
