Basic plot
Colombian drug lord Ramon Cota (Billy Drago), the richest drug kingpin in the world, 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 partner, Major Bobby Chavez (Paul Perri), attempt to bring Cota to court, their efforts are all in vain, as Cota is easily able to afford the bail bond, and he escapes to freedom.
Unable to contain his rage, Chavez furiously lashes out at Cota in court. Cota decides to strike at Chavez by having Chavez's pregnant wife and 13-year-old brother killed.
Out on a personal mission of vengeance, Chavez is captured by Cota's forces and is tortured and killed. When three DEA agents attempt to go in and bring Cota and his army down, they are taken hostage, surely to be executed soon.
An angry McCoy leads his Delta Force in to rescue the hostages and bring Cota down.
