Forest Warrior is a 1996 action-adventure film that follows John McKenna (Chuck Norris), a Native American who's on a mission to protect the forests from being destroyed by timber and oil companies. John is a man of deep spiritual beliefs and he'll stop at nothing to save the land around him. The movie starts with a young girl named Mandy (Chelsea Field) who runs away from her stepfather, a wealthy businessman, who wants to destroy the forest to extract the oil underneath. Mandy finds John while she's lost in the woods and he takes her under his wing. John shows her how to live off the land and teaches her about the history and traditions of his people.

Meanwhile, a group of loggers, led by Travis Thorne (Terry Kiser), are cutting down trees in the forest, destroying the natural habitat of animals and disrupting the flow of water in the rivers. John tries to talk to Travis about the impact of their actions on the environment, but Travis refuses to listen and instead decides to blow up a dam, causing a flood in the valley.

With the help of his friends, which include a family of bears, John sets out on a mission to stop the destruction and to protect the forest and its inhabitants. Along the way, he faces many challenges, including a shootout with the loggers, a high-stakes game of poker, and a life-threatening encounter with a grizzly bear.

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when John uses his knowledge of Native American culture and the forest to create an elaborate booby trap for the loggers. The scene is filled with suspense and action, creating a moment of pure entertainment for the audience.

The film also features an environmental message that resonates with audiences today. John's character embodies the importance of protecting the environment, even if it means going up against powerful corporations that prioritize profits over preserving nature.

Chuck Norris delivers a solid performance as John, making him a believable and likable hero. His Native American background adds an extra layer of depth to the character, making him more than just a one-dimensional action hero.

Terry Kiser also gives a strong performance as the villain, Travis. His character is ruthless and unapologetic, making it easy for the audience to root against him.

The supporting cast, which includes Max Gail as Sheriff Ramsey, also adds to the film's overall appeal. The actors have great chemistry and offer plenty of comedic relief throughout the movie.

The film's soundtrack, featuring music by the likes of Brooks & Dunn and Sawyer Brown, adds to the overall atmosphere of the movie. The music fits perfectly with the Western theme and sets the tone for each scene.

Overall, Forest Warrior is a fun and action-packed adventure that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Chuck Norris delivers an entertaining performance as the hero, and the movie's environmental message is as relevant today as it was in 1996. If you're looking for a fun and exciting way to spend a couple of hours, Forest Warrior is worth checking out.

Forest Warrior is a 1996 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.6.
