John Wood left the pieces of a broken civilisation behind, to go back to his roots in the woodland, after a virus pandemic struck the world. Residing in a simple cabin, he only wants peace and to live in harmony with nature. Coming from a long line of timber men, he joined the army and served as a soldier for many years. Rebelling against his superiors for killing civilians under martial law. John feels he got his own wife killed when saving hundreds of innocent civilians from certain death.

Coming upon John's cabin in the woods, Maria is instinctively taken into shelter by John. He wants her to recover fast and leave, but by learning her...
由巴兹．库利克导演的该片是史蒂夫·麦奎因的最后遗作，虽然有点 “英雄老矣"的感慨，但他仍将剧中的瑞夫索尔森一角演绎得栩栩如生，入木三分。拍片过程中的高难和危险动作他必亲自上阵，所以给片中的追逐场面增添了几分真实感和刺激感。 该片取材于一个真实故事，讲述一名以追捕通缉犯领取奖金为生的捕头瑞夫索尔森，因长期忙于追捕工作而忽略了与女朋友的关系，致使女友出走。而此时，曾被他逮捕归案的梅森已出狱，他矢志报瑞夫索尔森一箭之仇。他在成功挟持瑞夫索尔森的女友后，两人终于再次对峙。
