- Tiger (Amitabh Bachchan) works for the local Don Bhaktawar (Danny Denzongpa) but never hesitates to revolt against him if he harms his friends or family. Bhaktawar is a brutal lord of the Bombay Docks and uses the docks workforce as his slaves, by exploiting their hard work and not even paying them a pittance. Tiger is Bhaktawar's enforcer, due to his father Pratap who is loyal to Bhaktawar. Bhaktawar is given legal cover by corrupt police officer Girdhar. But Girdhar also plays both sides by pretending to be a friend of the workers. Girdhar instigates dock leader Gonsalves to rebel against Bhaktawar. Girdhar is assisted by Hawaldar Arjun Singh (Annu Kapoor). Gonsalves challenges Bhaktawar and is attacked by his goons. Tiger saves Gonsalves, as he is Jumma's brother and Jumma is Tiger's girlfriend.
Girdhar tells Bhaktawar that Gonsalves has signatures of 500 dock workers on a complaint against him. If Gonsalves reaches the police station, Bhaktawar can be jailed. Pratap asks Tiger to warn Gonsalves and to drop the agitation against Bhatawar, but Gonsalves only listens politely to Tiger. He has made up his mind to file a police complaint against Bhaktawar.
When his girlfriend Jumma (Kimi Katkar)'s brother Gonsalves (Romesh Sharma) is killed by Bhakhtawar for revolting against him, Tiger promises revenge. Bhaktawar plots to kill Tiger by dropping an entire load of cargo directly on top of him. However, Tiger's father Pratap (Deepak Shirke) intervenes and is killed accidentally. Tiger's stepmother also dies and asks Tiger to take care of his stepbrothers. With Pratap gone, Tiger vows Bhaktawar's death and goes on a rampage. Tiger attacks Bhaktawar at his home and knocks him unconscious. Girdhar arrives and asks Tiger to run away for the sake of his stepbrothers.
Girdhar (Anupam Kher) now plays his most evil hand, as he kills Bhakhtawar's family and frames Tiger. Bhakhtawar is arrested soon after learning of his family's death for countless murders and promises to avenge his family's death by killing Tiger when he returns.
Tiger is forced to go on the run with his two stepbrothers Kumar & Vijay. Jumma decides to stay behind so that Tiger can fully concentrate on looking after his brothers. Girdhar shoots at the train in which Tiger is escaping with his family, but Tiger manages to survive. Many years later, Tiger is now known as Shekhar and is living a happy life with his two grown-up brothers Kumar (Rajinikanth) and Vijay (Govinda) as well as Kumar's wife Aarti (Deepa Sahi) and a daughter, Jyoti. Kumar is a police officer, and they are a big happy family. Kumar and Vijay believe that Shekhar is a coward as he avoids all and any kind of risk.
During this time, Bhakhtawar is released from jail and is on the hunt for Tiger/Shekhar, still under the assumption that Tiger was the one who murdered his entire family. He returns to his area, where he finds many of his henchmen awaiting his return; there he learns that Girdhar has become a rich businessman (with the money that was stolen from Bhaktawar), and that Tiger was supposedly dead. He doesn't believe this and attempts to hunt down Tiger.
Girdhar, meanwhile, is attempting to sell faulty tanks to the Indian Army with the help of some corrupt officers, but his plan is foiled by the General Rana Pratap Singh (Kader Khan). Rana will not approve of the acquisition without seeing the tank in action himself. Girdhar tries to bribe Rana, but Rana kicks Girdhar out. Rana also fires Captain Zatack (Shiva Rindani) who was in charge of officially approving the tanks as battle worthy for the Indian Army. Kumar and Vijay get into a scuffle with Zatack at a local club. Zatack had challenged Vijay to an arm wrestling match and lost, but refuses to pay the money. Shekhar asks them to back off, but they lock out Shekhar and beat up Zatack and his men. Shekhar tells Kumar and Vijay that he has worked day and night to create a life for his family. They have no right to spill their blood as their blood also belongs to him.
Vijay is in love with the General's daughter Aneeta (Shilpa Shirodkar), and originally the real General did not approve of their love. Shekhar had met Aneeta earlier and had approved of her as a match for Vijay.
Girdhar arranges for the kidnapping of the General and to replace him with a look-alike actor named Satrangi. Girdhar trains Satrangi and replace the real General with Satrangi at Aneeta's engagement party in Bangalore. Vijay travels to Bangalore to stop the engagement. Girdhar executes the General's replacement at the engagement party. Satrangi agrees to Vijay and Aneeta's love.
Bhaktawar tracks down Girdhar, who also says that Tiger is dead. Bhaktawar says that Girdhar's tanks are now under his control, and he wants Tiger in exchange for the tanks. Bhaktawar eventually discovers that Tiger is alive and living under the name Shekhar in Ooty. Bhaktawar manages to kidnap Aarti and Jyoti when they visit Aarti's mother. Shekhar gets wind of this news and goes to Bangalore with Vijay and Kumar to find out what happened.
Someone insults Aarti at the bus stop, and Shekhar beats him up as if he were Tiger, which worries Kumar and Vijay. Bhaktawar calls Aarti's mother's home in Bangalore, but Kumar picks up. He keeps the phone when Bhaktawar asks for Tiger. Shekhar calls Girdhar, who tells him that Bhaktawar is dead. Girdhar learns that Shekhar is in Bangalore and guides him to Jumma. Jumma has become a famous actress and is shooting in Bangalore as well. Shekhar meets Jumma, and one of Bhaktawar's loyalists tracks him down and tells him that Bhaktawar is alive.
Zatack attacks with his forces to kill Tiger but is defeated by Tiger. Zatack manages to kill the Bhaktawar loyalist sent to meet Tiger. Tiger finds out that Zatack was acting on instructions from Girdhar. Tiger goes to Girdhar's house and finds General Rana imprisoned there. Kumar investigates the kidnapping at a local police station and learns that Shekhar isn't who he says he is and confronts him. Shekhar insists that he never killed Bhaktawar's family. Kumar insults Shekhar and refuses to let him leave, but Vijay stops Kumar and Shekhar goes to confront Bhaktawar. Meanwhile Jumma tells Kumar what Tiger did to become Shekhar and give a normal life to his stepbrothers. This comes as a shock to both Kumar and Vijay.
Bhaktawar has captured Aarti and Jyoti at the docks and strapped them with a remote-controlled bomb vest. Tiger insists that he never killed Bhaktawar's family. They both realized that they have been manipulated by Girdhar. Bhaktawar refuses to believe Tiger, but that's when the docks are attacked by Girdhar and Zatack. Bhaktawar attacks Girdhar but is gunned down by Zatack. Girdhar plans to detonate the bomb vest, but Vijay and Kumar arrive and throw Aarti and Jyoti into the water, where the remote doesn't work. Tiger attacks Girdhar and Kumar and Vijay take on Zatack and his tanks. General Rana arrives with his forces as Girdhar is about to be captured. Girdhar captures Jyoti, but this time Bhaktawar gets hold of Girdhar and blows himself up, taking Girdhar with him.
