某日，布莱恩（约翰尼·梅辛纳 Johnny Messner 饰）孤身一人在广袤无垠的沙漠之中醒来，失去了记忆的他不知道自己身处何地，为何在此，甚至不知道自己究竟是谁，有着怎样的身份和过去。他唯一的陪伴是身边躺着的八具尸体，以及塞满了可卡因和钞票的两辆面包车。 很快，大毒枭马特奥（丹尼·特乔 Danny Trejo 饰）以及他的爪牙便找上了布莱恩，很显然，可卡因和钱都和马特奥有着不可撇清的关联。除此之外，正义感慢慢的缉毒警探洛克（杜夫·龙格尔 Dolph Lundgren 饰）正摩拳擦掌，想要将布莱恩捉拿归案，与此同时，贪婪腐败的警长奥尔森（迈克尔·帕尔 Michael Paré 饰）亦将布莱恩视作自己最大的阻碍。
影片塑造了一个与传统农村干部完全不同的主角形象，他是党的政策的有力贯彻者，是优秀传统文化的民间继承人，并将两者有机结合到一起，凝聚人心，调动村民积极性，利用集体的力量实现了村庄精神、政治、经济的全面发展。影片在叙述故事的过程中反对说教，注重实用，向观众展示了“村委会开会广播直播”、“五好家庭”评选与经济利益挂钩、开展“谁为村遮光谁为村增光”写讲评活动激发村民民主参与意识等做法，让影片更贴近农民群众生活，更加真实可信。在故事的架构上，影片以村庄的发展历程为主线，穿插几个家庭的悲欢离合，其中不断迸发的矛盾冲突，大大增强了影片的可看性，让观众在不知不觉中融入影片剧情。
