Title this one "Miami Vice for the teen crowd".
Basic plot - juvenile bad boys from south Florida are taken into the Everglades for training by a Vietnam-era mystic soldier-warrior. Standard struggles ensue - kids resent the soldier, kids don't like each other, conditions are tough. Naturally, they bond and become the titular "Band". Once the kids and the soldier are back in Miami, the film loses direction as they fight gangs, pimps and a nasty drug dealer.
The most interesting thing about this film now is the chance to see a very green Larry Fishburne and Lauren Holly.
The rest of the film is incredibly dated and just doesn't hold up today.
