The Trial of Billy Jack

ActionAdventureDramaThrillerWestern170 min

Billy Jack is out of prison, but the fight has only widened around the Freedom School, an experimental community where students practice yoga sports, produce muckraking journalism, and broadcast political exposes on their own TV station. Delores Taylor's Jean Roberts keeps the school growing while Tom Laughlin is Billy Jack, drawn back into conflict as townspeople target the students and harass a neighboring Native community. As pressure builds from local authorities to the governor's office, the school becomes a flashpoint for clashing ideas about power, protest, and belonging.
