Directed by \u003cstrong data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"736\"\u003eWalter Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e, it blends elements of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"764\" data-end=\"826\"\u003eWestern, action film, rock musical, and comic-book fantasy\u003c\/strong\u003e into a deliberately heightened urban myth. The plot follows ex-soldier \u003cstrong data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"910\"\u003eTom Cody\u003c\/strong\u003e (Michael Paré), who returns to his old neighbourhood to rescue rock singer \u003cstrong data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"999\"\u003eEllen Aim\u003c\/strong\u003e (Diane Lane) after she is abducted by the biker gang led by \u003cstrong data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1078\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eRaven Shaddock\u003c\/strong\u003e (Willem Dafoe).

The main image is a large, intense close-up of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eTom Cody\u003c\/strong\u003e, his gaze fixed directly at the viewer as he grips a shotgun, projecting the film’s hard-edged, mercenary heroism. In the lower right appears \u003cstrong data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eEllen Aim\u003c\/strong\u003e in performance, spotlighted at the microphone in her vivid red stage dress, introducing the musical energy that is central to the film’s identity.
