The movie begins with Joe and Max driving a truck through the desert, where they encounter a group of bandits. After a brief fight, Joe and Max continue on their journey and arrive in a small town, where they meet Jennifer, a beautiful woman who is searching for her father, a famous archaeologist.
As Joe and Jennifer set out to find Jennifer's father, they soon discover that he has been kidnapped by the same underground organization that is planning to build a nuclear weapon.
