It's 1969. The
conflict in Viet Nam has exploded to
immeasurable proportions, and
18-year-old Dean Hill's number is
up. Dean's brother Eric, who has
already seen his share of combat,
plans to take Dean to enlist in his
beloved Marine Corps in hopes of
keeping an eye on him rather than
letting him take his chances at the
local induction center. But Dean
plans to confront Eric about dodging
the draft after the boys and their
respective girlfriends, Bailey and
Chrissie, head across Texas for a
final fling of serious fun. Soon
after their journey begins, the
foursome are spooked by a menacing
pair of bikers, Holden and his
girlfriend, Alex. When Alex chases
the group's jeep, propelling them
into a serious accident, Chrissie is
thrown from the vehicle. As Alex
attempts to rob the injured trio,
Sherriff Hoyt arrives and turns the
tables on their would-be assassin.
While Chrissie hides in the nearby
brush, she watches as the sheriff
kills Alex in and then taunts her
friends before ordering them into
the back of the patrol car.
Unbeknownst to Chrissie, Hoyt is
headed to the Hewitt family home
where Thomas, who is being groomed
to become the terrifying monster
known as Leatherface, and the rest
of the Hewitt clan await. Chrissie
attempts to convince Holden to help
her, but he is on a one man rampage
to avenge his girlfriend's death. As
Chrissie witnesses the horrors
inflicted by the Hewitt family upon
the people she loves, she realizes
she is their only hope of survival.
