Ex-cop turned ex-con Ray Mercer (Peter Weller, Robocop) travels to Las Vegas to win back his estranged wife (Tia Carrere, Wayne's World). But when he wins $450,000 at a casino owned by Rebecca's blackhearted boyfriend, Steve Atlas (Dennis Hopper, Speed), the casino is robbed, and the police think Mercer is on it. Mercer is hurled into a whirlwind of danger in this explosive adventure. The action never stops in a series of shoot-outs, chases and standoffs...leaping into log rides, hurling onto train tours and even balancing atop the world's highest rollercoaster. To save himself from jail, Mercer must unravel the greedy scheme, which is revealed above the Hoover Dam in a climatic gun battle that's not only for the cash, but also for the beautiful Rebecca's affections. Only one thing's for sure - it's winner take all! (official distributor synopsis)
