After several disastrous harvests, people from the cities are venturing into rural areas hoping to procure food to feed their families. Compounding the problem is that the farmers are also experiencing the same issues and there simply isn't enough food to go around. As a result, the cities are placed under martial law while small vigilante groups are set up in the country to prevent armed groups from urban areas looting nearby farms. Although one particular farmer by the name of "Grant Franklin" (Clint Walker) disagrees with the need for these vigilante groups, what he doesn't know is that the politicians have been deliberately misleading the populace and things are about to get much worse for everybody. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film definitely had potential. Unfortunately, it lacked the necessary drama and suspense due in large part to the stoic manner of the main character. To that effect, in spite of everything happening all around, nothing seemed to faze him. At least, not initially. Be that as it may, while I don't consider this to be a bad film by any means, I honestly wasn't that impressed with it and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
