Tunstall is in heavy competition with another rancher named Lawrence Murphy(Jack Palance) and their men fight on a daily basis. Tunstall recruits Billy the Kid(Emilio Estevez) and tells him to renounce the violence, saying that "He who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind". Tensions go up and up between the 2 groups, resulting in the murder of Tunstall. Billy, Doc Scurlock(Kiefer Sutherland), Jose Chavez y Chavez(Lou Diamond Philips), Richard M "Dick" Brewer(Charlie Sheen). "Dirty" Steve Stephens(Dermot Mulroney), Charlie Bowdre(Casey Siemaszko) consult their lawyer friend Alex McSween(Terry O'Quinn) to get them deputized and give warrants for the arrest of Murphy's men

-Billy quickly changes Dick's authority as leader, vowing revenge against Murphy and the men responsible for killing Tunstall. The men call themselves "Regulators" and arrest some of the murderers. Hot headed Billy is unable to wait for justice. So he guns down unarmed men and goes on to kill one of the Regulators in the paranoia belief that he was still in league with Murphy. The men are stripped of their badges, which they find out through reading a newspaper. That same paper also confuses Dick for Billy, showing a picture of Dick labeled "Billy the Kid", a nickname Billy begins to like

-While local authorities begin their hunt for Billy and his boys, the Regulators argue about continuing with their warrants or go on the run. One of the men on their list is Buckshot Roberts(Brian Keith), who tracks them down, barricades himself in an outhouse and Dick dies in a shootout. Billy appoints himself as leader and the gang gets famous. Now the U.S. Army is assigned the task of bringing in the gang to bring them to Murphy's corrupt justice

-The gang stays hidden for a while and Charlie gets married in Mexico. While attending the wedding, Billy meets Pat Garrett(Patrick Wayne), who is not yet a sherrif. He warns Billy of an attempt on Alex's life by Murphy's men that will occur the next day. The gang packs up and heads off to save Alex.

-While in the home of their lawyer friend, an entire gang of Murphy's men appear and surround the house. Another intense shootout starts, as the authorities, led by George W. Peppin, opens fire on the house. Billy once again shows off by shooting him with a snap long range gunshot out the window. Ceasefire is called for the night, but the battle continues the next morning. That's when the Army rolls in, accompanied by Murphy. They torch the house and Chavez runs out the back, causing Steve to assert that he has deserted. As the house begins to burn, the men come up with a plan of escape- they begin throwing Alex's stuff out the windows of the 2nd floor. Billy places himself inside a large trunk and when it lands in front of the house, he takes a chance and begins to open fire

-Almost at the same time, Doc Scurlock busts out of the staircase on the top floor, guns blazing, followed by Charlie and Steve. As they make it to the lawn, Billy is shot twice in his arms. Charlie challenges the bounty hunter, John Kinney(Allen Keller). Kinney shoots Charlie and he fires back. Charlie kills Kinney, but in the process, takes a few more shots and dies

-Chavez takes the Army by surprise by screaming "Regulators!" he rides in, leading horses for the others. He comes from behind the army and jumps their barricade to get his extra horses to the surviving guys. Billy jumps on one horse as Doc gets on another. Doc is shot as his girlfriend Yen Sun(Alice Carter), Murphy's Chinese sex-slave, screams. He rides over to her and picks her up, and they ride off. Chavez tries to get Steve on a horse, but is wounded and he falls. Steve helps Chavez mount a horse and sends the horse off so Chavez can get away. Steve is then shot multiple times and falls to the ground in a dirty puddle, dead

-Alex cheers on the boys as they escape. The army opens fire on Alex with a Gatling gun and he is dead. As the remaining men go away, Murphy hurls threats and curses them, but is stunned when Billy turns back. beyond gunshot range of most normal guys. He says "Reap it Murphy, you son of a b----."He makes another impossible shot, landing one right between Murphy's eyes and killing him.

-The final scene is a voice over of Doc explaining what happened later. In Doc's words, he includes that Alex's widow caused a congressional investigation into the Lincoln County War. Chavez took a job at a farm in California; Doc moved east to New York and married Yen Sun, who he saved from Murphy; Billy continued to ride on until he was found and shot dead by Pat Garrett, who was shown as barely knowing Billy.

Plot
-In the opening scene, mountain climber and rescue ranger Gabe Walker(Sylvester Stallone) and his friend, fellow ranger Jessie Deighan(Janine Turner) are dispatched to pick up their friend Hal Tucker(Michael Rooker) and his girlfriend Sarah(Michelle Joyner) on a narrow peak in the Rocky Mountains called "The Tower". While moving from one mountaintop to the helicopter via steel cable, Hal's girlfriend Sarah's harness breaks and she is left dangling over a deep chasm. While the others try to come up with a way to save her, Gabe straps on to the cable to go and save her. It's unsuccessful; her gloved hand slips through his and she falls 4,000 feet to her death in the chasm

-8 months later, Gabe returns to town for the first time since Sarah's funeral and he is overcome with guilt, thinking he could have done more. He has returned only to pack up his remaining stuff and leave permanently and also convince Jessie to come with him. A radio distress call comes to the local rescue center where Hal and Jessie work. Hal heads off to find the climbers. Battling personal problems, Gabe works with Hal on the mountain, where Hal, still angry, almost throws Gabe off a ledge.

-The rescue turns out to be a false report; the 2 climbers are taken prisoner by a gang of theives led by Eric Qualen(John Lithgow), who wants to recover 3 suitcases filled with $100 million in uncirculated $1,000 bills belonging to the United States Department of the Treasury. With the help of a turncoat Treasury agent named Richard Travers(Rex Linn), Qualen and his mercenaries attempt to steal the suitcases via an air-to-air transfer, but the cable breaks and the suitcases are lost. The thieves' plane, due to loss of power, crashes and now the suitcases holding the money have beacon locators in them, enabling them to track them, and due to the treacherous mountain terrain, they summon Gabe and Hal to help them find them

-The group comes to the first of 3 suitcases, Gabe is tethered to a rope and ordered to climb a steep wall to get it. Gabe frees himself from the rope and begins scrambling up the mountain, causing an avalanche which takes out Heldon(Denis Forest) down, one of Qualen's guys. Seeing the money fly by, Qualen presumes Gabe is dead and orders the group to proceed

-Gabe suvives the avalanche and makes his way to an abandoned cabin where he finds Jessie, who got airlifted into the area earlier. He is half frozen from climbing the mountain wearing only a thin sleeveless muscle shirt and Jessie finds him clothes to wear. Together, they reach the 2nd case before Qualen does. They find the case empty except for a $1,000 bill with "Want to Trade?" written on it. They split up to find Gabe, while Qualen's mercenaries Ryan(Gregory Scott Cummins) chases after Gabe and Jessie. They both slide down a hill, fighting and the thug is killed when he flies down into an abyss as Gabe is hanging onto the edge for dear life. 2 of Hal's friends, casually hanging on the mountain, run into Hal and the theives. Hal tells them to run and as they do, one is shot dead by Qualen's mercenary Kynette(Leon Robinson). The other parachutes off the cliff, where he gets caught in a tree, leaving him dangling. When Gabe makes an attempt to climb out of a crevice, he is seen by Kynette. A fight occurs between the 2, resulting in Kynette being impaed on a stalactite. Gabe tries to pick up the theif's radio to call the rescue chopper, but Hal alerts him that Qualen is planting explosives directly above him and plans to kill him, with Gabe and Jessie barely escaping

-The thieves, with Hal as their guide, make their way to the cabin for the night. Elsewhere, Gabe and Jessie hole up in a cave and stay warm by burning the money. The chopper pilot, Frank(Ralph Waite), not knowing of any response from Jessie, Gabe or Hal, flies over the mountain, where he finds Hal's friend stuck in a tree, frees him and transports him to safety, alerting the police

-The next morning, Gabe and Jessie try to beat the theives to the last case. Kristel(Caroline Goodall) flags down the chopped. Against orders from Qualen, Delmar(Craig Fairbass) shoots Frank. Hal crawls over to Frank and he gives Hal a knife. Hal sticks it in his boot and the thieves walk over to the chopper. Travers points a gun at Qualen, telling everyone that he is now in charge. Qualen informs them that without someone to pilot the chopper, they are stranded and shoots Kristel dead

-Again, with leverage over Travers, Qualen tells Travers, Hal and Delmar to track the case. Once close to the case, Travers tells Delmar to kill Hal, only to find Gabe has beaten them to the punch. Delmar nearly beats Hal and kicks him off a cliff, but Hal stabs him in the leg and shoots the thug with his own shotgun. Elsewhere, Jessie, who signaled the rescue chopper, thinking it's Frank, is taken hostage by Qualen. Travers finds that Gabe has found the last case before him and chases him, causing Gabe to fall into the frozen river. Under the ice, Gabe outsmarts Travers and shoots the Treasury agent with his bolt gun 3 times. His body is now being carried away by the river.

-Communicating by radio, Qualen and Gabe make a deal to exchange the money for Jessie. Qualen releases Jessie, but Gabe tricks him by throwing the money into the rotating blades of the chopper. In the confusion, Qualen's chopper falls, getting stuck on a steel ladder down the side of the mountain. Gabe and Qualen fight atop the wreck. Gabe manages to jump off as the chopper falls several thousand feet and explodes. Later, Tucker quotes "If you're looking for Qualen, try about 4,000 feet south of here. He'll be the one wearing a helicopter." The 3 are then found by federal agents and rescued.
