The classic cult film based on a story by John Milius and directed by Walter Hill, Extreme Prejudice is a 1987 Neo-western action thriller punctuated with intense violence. Nick Nolte stars as tough Texas Ranger Jack Benteen, on a bloody crusade as he fights to bring down his childhood friend Cash Bailey (Powers Boothe), now a ruthless drug baron operating across the Mexican border. Jack is recruited by the CIA after his intervention in an attempted bank robbery to terminate Cash with extreme prejudice. He must also reckon with the clandestine Zombie Unit - an army of veterans officially killed-in-action but now on a top-secret assignment led by Major Paul Hackett (Michael Ironside) - who are on his turf in pursuit of the narcotics kingpin, leading to an epic showdown. Also starring Maria Conchita Alonso as Sarita, the lover caught between the two men and Rip Torn as the local Sheriff. (StudioCanal UK)
