Last Stand, The

After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in the sleepy border town of Sommerton Junction. But, that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly, yet spectacular, escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.

With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell, Cortez begins racing toward the US–Mexico border at 250 MPH in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1, with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister, will have their final opportunity to intercept Cortez before the violent fugitive slips across the border. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small-town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.
