Arkansas firefighters Vince (Bill Paxton) and Don (William Sadler) find a treasure map to stolen church gold hidden in an abandoned building in east St. Louis. They are surprised by the resident Bradlee (Art Evans) and take him prisoner. Then the local gang with King James (Ice-T) and Savon (Ice Cube) run across the situation. Vince and Don manages to capture King James' brother Lucky and an extended stand off ensues.
These are some stereotypical characters. Walter Hill is making a B-movie but it is kinda fun. Bill Paxton is a bit too whiny. The performances are generally really broad. Ice-T and Ice Cube are doing their best gangster strut. It's got some action but not a terribly deep movie.
