| Murder. Corruption. Revenge. After four years of bloody Civil War and a dozen years of “reconstruction”, the American south remains a land of violent inequality. When former slaves go on strike against Judge Duke’s plantation, all hell breaks loose. His son, Billy, brutalises the former slaves but Judge Duke has the law in his pocket. Reese Paxton, a white landowner, takes the side of the slaves, starting a succession of events that have him arrested and sentenced to work on a chain gang while his family is left to the mercy of Billy’s gang. With many killed, including his wife and son, Reese comes back to exact revenge and help the former slaves defeat the oppressive plantation owners. Inspired by the Thibodaux Massacre, the film stars Emmy Award-winner Eric Braeden, Billy Zane (Titanic), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Armand Assante (American Gangster), Academy Award-winner George Kennedy and Carol Alt. |
