Edge of Honor 1991

The film opens with a stark portrait of life along the northwest coast of the United States, where families struggling with poverty turn to arms smuggling to survive. A smuggling crew led by Butler Corey Feldman has just secured a shipment of high-tech weapons, including a man-portable rocket launcher. A rival faction intercepts them, seizes the weapons, and massacres the group. One member escapes but is tracked down and killed, along with his mother; his sister Alex Meredith Salenger survives.

A separate group of scouts on a rainforest camping trip stumbles upon a hidden cache of the same rocket launchers in a shack. They sample a few weapons for fun and, in the process, drop a map showing their base camp. The arms smugglers arrive at the shack soon after the scouts leave. Using the map to locate the scouts’ base, they reach the site and violence erupts as the frightened youths react; several scouts are killed. The survivors flee through the woods, with the smugglers hot on their heels.

The scouts are joined by Alex herself, who has chosen to take up arms against her family’s slayers. Together they mount a cautious defense, using terrain and improvised tactics to slow the pursuit and protect one another.

In their final stand, the group constructs an elaborate trap to beat back the attackers once and for all, turning the forest into an ally as they endure the threat and cling to the hope of safety beyond the chase.
