This African-American western stars and is directed by Mario Van Peebles. It consists of an ensemble cast of mostly black performers including Blaxploitation actors Pam Grier and Issac Hayes, hip-hop artists Tone Loc and Big Daddy Kane, and classic actors Woody Strode and Nippy Russell.
The story centers around Van Peebles as Jesse Lee, the leader of a gang of black soldiers and one white crazy guy (Stephen Baldwin) who have escaped from an evil colonel (Billy Zane). The colonel has double-crossed them, but they get away with the gold coin shipment that he was planning on stealing. With the colonel hot on their trail, they travel to a western town inhabited solely by African-Americans. It is the town that Jesse's father has envisioned building before he was brutally murdered. Jesse has returned to avenge his father's death and build a peaceful place that black people can call home.
