Amid a brooding rock n' roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock (a breakout performance by Willem Dafoe's villainous face), kidnap songstress diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes: soldier of fortune, Tom Cody (Michael Paré) and his sidekick, the two-fisted, beer-guzzling, McCoy (Amy Madigan). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis), the trio plunge headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars and deadly assassins.
