After an American senator dies of a sudden heart attack a top secret file is found which implicates him in a crooked scheme with lobbyists for the nuclear industry. Needing a puppet they can control to complete their deal, and concerned about populist opposition to the senator's replacement, these corrupt politicians and lobbyists appoint a person totally disinterested in politics--Billy Jack (Tom Laughlin). Yet even though the appointment is only supposed to be for a couple of months, what the insiders don't realize is that Billy Jack has his own code of values and he doesn't bend to political pressure that easily. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had some good drama but there were also several rather ludicrous scenes which really weighed it down. For example, the ending was not only predictable but was kind of ridiculous as well. Likewise, there were some parts which were also incredibly naïve and unrealistic. No doubt there will be some viewers who lived through the 60's who will give certain parts of this film a free pass. However, there will be other viewers who might have some problems relating to it and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.
