Intro
The off speaker explains the location and the situation:
In California, five miles from the boarder to Oregon in Redwood City a religious clan led by Martin James exists. James keeps his power by isolating the clan members from the outside. He controls them by terror.
The A-Team has been called to rescue one of the girls in the clan: Sheila Rodgers.
Two vans approach a village. One takes position to watch the street, the other one parks near a house. The clan members get out of the car and Face helps them get out of the car. One of the brothers doesn’t like that. Two of the monks/brothers try to threaten Face, even though they are clothed as monks. Face pretends to be here for fishing.
The clan moves along to pick up supplies. Meanwhile Face reports back to the team waiting in the van.
The other clan van is still watching the streets. The people in that van are armed.
Murdock is in a helicopter playing the crazy fool while the chopper is on the ground. Hannibal orders Murdock to prepare to take off. Meanwhile the customer of the A-Team asks Hannibal if they found his daughter. Hannibal confirms.
Smith and Face discuss that the mission has to go fast, since the enemy is strong and dangerous. They take along Amy and leave the van. The three approach the clan van: Hannibal and Face put spikes under the tires, so they will blow as soon as the van drives off.
Face and Amy go inside the store, where the clan is buying their supplies. They pretend to be fighting. Hannibal enters as well. The fight goes on. Hannibal pretends help Amy and starts a fight with Face. Face immediately punches Hannibal. They start a heavy fist fight and destroy the entire store. As soon as they reached a good position, they jump out the window and attack the brothers by the van. Face takes a baseball bat and hits him. Amy takes Sheila and all of them together take off in B.A.’s van. The brothers try to follow them in their van, but the tires blow, so they have to call the other van. Things lead to a chase through the mountains. Sheila is happy that she got free. Face took some injuries and broke a tooth in the fight.
They reach Murdock and hand over Sheila.
The helicopter takes off.
The clan van reaches the spot as well and shoots on the A-Team van. The clan takes the A-Team (Hannibal, Face, B.A., Amy) hostage. Murdock flies over the scene.
The clan with the captured A-Team takes off in the van. They drive to the clan village. It looks more like some wooden army place with control tower and everything. The A-Team is presented to James.
They bring the team into one of the barracks. The Team immediately starts to search the place up and down. They find a microphone in the wall. Hannibal makes it clear that they might die here and everything else would just be luck. B.A. and Face have to convince Amy to let go of her life, so she no longer has fear.
B.A. reports what he spotted outside in the camp and then Face does so as well. While B.A. checked out the buildings, Face counted the guys and weaponry. Hannibal orders everyone to wait and see what happens. Amy is scared. Face talks to her: accept death.
Murdock’s helicopter approaches a construction site. Sheila and her father get out. Murdock makes it clear that he will go back to save everyone.
In the camp, the Team meets James. They try to make jokes, but James just tells them that they are guilty of ‘crimes against the world.’ Hannibal tells James that the National Guard soon will arrive, but he isn’t bothered by that.
Outside the team has to change their shoes. They have to go to a trial: walk through the valley. They have to run. They run outside the camp and soon the clan jeeps pursue them and try to shoot them: manhunt.
Three jeeps are following them. The team soon hides behind some bushes and gets away from the road into the bushes. The jeeps split up.
The team hides in the dried out river. Hannibal splits the team up as well. They reach a farm, but that one is under the clan control as well. They agree that they have to lure the guards out in the field, so they send in Amy. She pretends to fall, the guard comes up to her and Face tries to fight that guard, but is knocked out and loses another tooth. B.A. finally knocks that guard out.
They ask the farmers for help. They are clearly afraid of the clan as well. He doesn’t want to help them, in order to protect himself and his daughter. B.A. makes it clear that they will have no choice. The guy has nothing, not even a phone or a gun.
Face is put on the couch and the farmer’s daughter looks after him, something he soon enjoys. B.A. has the only gun. Outside there’s a lot of junk. The farmer makes art out of it. Hannibal has an idea and orders B.A. to get some other stuff.
Inside Face still gets all the attention he can ask for by the farmer’s daughter. Hannibal enters and gives Amy some orders as well. He then approaches Face, but that one is now under female protection! Even though, Face takes off with the promise to come back.
At the construction site, Murdock gets some dynamite into the chopper. He plays the crazy one in order to get it and takes off. On the farm everyone is working on their weapons: the typical creative session by the A-Team. Hannibal plans to go back to James’ place. He wants his boots back.
Hannibal and B.A. take off in the enhanced jeep. Meanwhile the rest stay working on the farm. The two drive up to the clan’s village and get under fire right away. They break the gate. They use their self made flamethrower. James calls back his brothers and takes the lead of the army himself. They rush after B.A. and Hannibal.
Murdock is still searching for the team and finds their mark soon on the roof of the farm house. Face orders Murdock to get back in the air right away.
Hannibal and B.A. are back. The first trap throws James out of his jeep. Murdock is throwing dynamite out of the chopper, Hannibal uses the flamethrower and Face and the others shoot gas cans. James thinks that he is fighting the devil. Murdock loves to play bomber.
After some fight, Hannibal orders the clan to surrender and they actually give away their weapons.
An army unit approaches – Hannibal spots them.
Face and the farmer’s daughter are taking a walk around the farm. He tries to play all his charm. When they want to kiss, Murdock interrupts them.
Hannibal returns. The clan is captured in the farm. The Team takes off. Face kisses the daughter goodbye and has to run to get the others in the jeep. They go back to the clan base. The young people there are leaving now. Hannibal grabs his boots.
