  • ""Half-breed' Billy Jack, an ex-Green Beret, is driven to action when a desert school is victimized by thugs. Using his fists and his feet, he unleashes justice in a fast-kicking frenzy that made him an instant folk hero."@en
  • "A half-Indian/half-white ex-Green Beret, Billy Jack is drawn more and more toward his Indian side. He hates violence but can't get away from it in the white man's world. Pitting the students of the peace-loving free-arts school in the desert against the oppressive bad guys in a nearby town, this action-packed film remains a landmark focusing on the most emotional themes of the time: anti-establishment, two-sided justice, and racial segregation and prejudice."
