Nowhere to Run(1992)

Short pooper:
Sam (Jean-Claude Van Damme) kills Hale’s (Joss Ackland) top henchman, Dunston (Ted Levine), and helps save Clydie (Rosanna Arquette), her family and her land. Hale is arrested for his corrupt actions, but, sadly, Sam is also taken away to return to prison.

Longer version:
While unscrupulous and ruthless local developer Hale tries, one time and again, to coerce and drive off widow Clydie and her two children, Mookie (Kieran Culkin) and Bree (Tiffany Taubman) -as well as other resisting neighbors- off those lands so he can have them for himself and further his real estate project ahead, local Sheriff Lonnie Poole (Edward Blatchford) -an incipient love interest of Clydie- comes to realize that Clydie has developed strong feelings for Sam, whom she has been sheltering in her barn, in exchange for him protecting her and the children and helping them with things around the farm.

Poole confronts Sam and beats him, ordering him to leave, but Sam resists. Clydie tends to Sam and, while comforting him, they end up making love. Meanwhile, Poole, growing ever more suspicious of Sam’s origins, comes across the information of him being a wanted fugitive from that bank robbery for which he was being driven to prison -and helped to escape by fellow convict Billy (Anthony Starke)-, earlier in the film, and shares this with Clydie, who, angered and heartbroken, orders Sam to get out of the house.

Hale convinces a spurned Poole to assist him in a manhunt against Sam, as a means to twist Clydie’s arm and force her to give up her land. When Sam sees this, he leads them on a protracted chase while riding the old Bonneville motorcycle Clydie had allowed him to have, from her deceased husband. He manages to thwart his pursuers and escapes. With Sam gone, and growing increasingly unhinged and desperate, Hale and his goon Dunston force themselves into Clydie’s house to try and make her sign her land away at gunpoint, as Poole realizes, too late, his mistake in assisting the evil tycoon.

Sam, having had a change of heart, returns and kills Dunston, just as he was getting ready to burn Clydie’s house down at Hale’s orders. At the same time, the Highway Police arrive and arrest Hale, who was bent on killing Clydie. Poole, seeing that Sam did the right thing out of selflessness, desists on his vendetta against Sam, but, as a Man of the Law, must arrest him, too, and take him to jail for his original crime, to which Sam agrees, no longer wanting to run. In the end, as Sam is being taken away, he and Clydie reassure their mutual love and he expresses how much he cares for the two children, especially Mookie -who originally found him camping in the grounds and took a liking and interest in him as something of a paternal figure-. With a sad expression on his face, he bids them all goodbye and swears to return to them.
