Raiders of the Sun is a post-apocalyptic action movie released in 1992. Richard Norton plays the lead role of a soldier named Dogen, who is sent on a dangerous mission to save his comrades from a group of bandits terrorizing the desert wasteland. He is joined by a team of warriors consisting of William Steis and Henry Strzalkowski. The film is set in a distant future, after a devastating global war has left the earth in ruins, and the remaining people wander the barren lands in search of food, shelter, and water. The survivors are divided into two groups, one led by the ruthless General J.T. Langley (Brion James), who rules with an iron fist and hoards all the resources for himself and his army. The other group is resistance fighters, who are fighting for freedom against the tyranny of J.T. Langley.

In the opening scene, Dogen receives a distress signal from his comrades who were kidnapped by J.T. Langley's forces. He sets out on his mission to rescue them, knowing full well that the chances of his team's survival are slim. Along the way, they come across a deserted mining town where they meet Allison (Nadine Hartstein), a young woman who has been surviving on her own since the death of her parents.

The team soon learns that J.T. Langley has found a powerful weapon that could give him the upper hand in the war. With this knowledge, they head towards his stronghold, determined to destroy the weapon before Langley can use it.

As they make their way through the treacherous desert, they come across various obstacles that threaten to derail their mission. The bandits, led by a fearsome warrior named Gunnar (Thomas Rosales Jr.), are hot on their heels, hoping to capture and sell them as slaves in the black market.

As the movie progresses, the plot thickens, with various twists and turns keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The characters are well-developed, with each member of the team having their strengths and weaknesses. Richard Norton, as Dogen, gives a charismatic performance as the brave soldier who will stop at nothing to save his comrades. William Steis, as Burt, provides comic relief with his wit and humor, while Henry Strzalkowski, as Cutter, brings a sense of urgency to the proceedings with his expert knowledge of weapons.

The film's director, Cirio H. Santiago, does a fantastic job of keeping the action sequences fast-paced and thrilling, with well-choreographed fight scenes that showcase the actors' martial arts skills. The film's special effects are impressive, with several explosive set-pieces that are sure to impress viewers.

The movie's score, composed by Al Capps, adds to the overall ambiance of the movie, with its pulsating beats and driving rhythms.

Raiders of the Sun may not be a ground-breaking film, but it delivers on its promises of action and adventure. It's a solid addition to the post-apocalyptic genre, with a well-written script and engaging performances. Fans of the genre will definitely find something to enjoy here.
