While attending a blaze, two Arkansas firefighters, Don (William Sadler) and Vince (Bill Paxton), acquire a map identifying the whereabouts of a hoard of stolen gold hidden years earlier in an abandoned East St. Louis building. Unbeknown to the treasure hunters, the location lies within the territory of a ruthless gang, led by the notorious King James (Ice-T) and his lieutenant Savon (Ice Cube).

FILM & REVIEW Another cracking taut Walter Hill movie - Paxton and Sadler play Vince and Don two fireman who discover a map and some old newspaper clippings about a church that was robbed 40 years earlier. From the info they work out it is in hidden in an old disused factory in East St Louis - all they have to do is find the treasure and they are rich. Except - the same venue is set for a confrontation between 2 rival drug gangs and the two fireman witness one gang leader KJ (Ice- T) kill the other . They can’t leave any witnesses and in the initial melee KJ’s younger brother is taken hostage and a full on siege is set in place. The whole thing takes place in the warehouse with crumbling walls and staircases with a real sense of claustrophobia as each side tries to outsmart the other. Vince and Don find an old man (Evans) who lives there and reluctantly agrees to help them. On the one hand the gang are straight out of Yo Mutherfucker central casting athough Ice-T (augmented by his rival Ice-Cube) do add some heft to the roles. It doesn’t have an ounce of fat in it with some really spectacular action scenes - unfortunately it came out just after the LA riots so the studio took fright and scaled back the release which is a shame as it’s another fine entry in the Hill canon - 4/5
