Produced by Christopher Cain this wild and adventurous western film all began in the year 1878, Lincoln County, New Mexico. John Tunstall, a British ranchowner, hires six rebellious boys as "Regulators" to protect his ranch against the ruthless Santa Fe Ring. When Tunstall is killed in an ambush, the Regulators, led by the wild-temper Billy the Kid (Estevez), declared war on the Ring. As their vendetta turns into a bloody rampage, they are branded outlaws, becoming the objects of the largest manhunt in western history.
Beginning with the group called the Regulators in this film starting with the well known William H. Bonney (Emilio Estevez) known for his wild temper, "Billy the Kid" led the Regulators in their war against the Santa Fe Ring.

And then we have Jose Chavez Y Chavez (Lou Diamond Phillips) a knife throwing expert who joined the Regulators in the war against the Ring.
