What happens

Stone Cold is a 1991 action film directed by Craig R. Baxley and starring Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen and William Forsythe. The film's story centers on a biker gang in Mississippi that tries to assassinate district attorney Brent Whipperton and free Trouble Owens, one of their members who is about to be resentenced to death for the murder of a priest. Hyped as the first major biker film in decades, and boasting the feature debut of controversial American football star Brian Bosworth, it has a particularly convoluted production history and went through many creative and logistical challenges. It was released on May 17, 1991, to mostly negative reviews, and underperformed at the box office. It has since enjoyed a modest reappraisal, with favorable comparisons being made to the more sanitized approach of modern action pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
