D.B. Sweeney stars as Benjy Taylor in this late eighties film about an under-cover cop trying to infiltrate and break up a ring of thieves who are stealing cars. He befriends young Ted Varrick (Charlie Sheen) and begins to slide into the world of fast cars and high-speed thrills. Lara Harris plays Ted's sister Ann who begins to cloud Benjy's judgment when his feelings for her get in the way. "No Man's Land" also stars Randy Quaid as Lieutenant Vincent Bracey.

Whether or not director Peter Werner wanted to make a moral dilemma film, he ended up in a dilemma himself by turning a good idea into an average film, with OK performances from all. The film either needed a more serious approach or more work on characterisation.
