"Band of the Hand" is a 1986 crime film, released by TriStar Pictures. It was directed by Paul Michael Glaser and stars Stephen Lang, Lauren Holly, Laurence Fishburne and Leon. Michael Mann served as its executive producer. The film turned into a theatrical release after it failed as a television pilot [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt090693/trivia] . The title track, "Band of the Hand", is written by Bob Dylan, and while it appeared on the soundtrack album and as a single, it has never been released on one of his own albums.

The plot involves a group of juvenile delinquents in their teens who are doomed to be prosecuted as adults for their crimes - unless they take part in a new and experimental "program" led by a Vietnam veteran Native American from the Everglades. The teens must learn to survive in the dangerous swamp and how to work together. Upon completion of the program, the group buys a vacant house in a dangerous part of Miami and slowly rebuilds the neighborhood, kicking out the pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers. The film's climax has the group taking the fight directly to a drug manufacturing facility that is equipped with a M-134 Minigun.
