Plot synopsis:
Ranger Captain Cordell Walker and Rangers Francis Gage and Rhett Harper are involved in a shooting at a bank where a group of robbers take the tellers hostage. Ranger Harper kills two of the robbers while the leader is able to escape. A guidance missile accidentally ends up in the hands of a thirteen-year-old who does not know that three Koreans, who are very skilled in combat, are looking for it. The criminals go to the child's house where they kill his father. The boy manages to escape, but the criminals remit to look for work. Jimmy has to leave for a family vacation, while Gage is following the case of the boy, helped by the Ranger Kay Austin. As if that were not enough, a girl who had an appointment Ranger Harper is killed and all evidence leads to Ranger Harper.
Alex follows the case of the ranger and Harper gets support from his aide Garrett Evans, while Gage and Kay Austin follow the case of the missing boy. The boy takes refuge at the home of his friend but criminals find it and try to take it back. In addition, the boy realizes that the criminals want the missile guidance system and is aimed at the top of his father for help. Meanwhile, a man is found dead whom Ranger Harper had arrested years earlier and the evidence leads back to him, but just when Ranger Austin can prove otherwise the evidence disappears. Meanwhile, Walker kills one of the Korean criminals and Gage and Austin find a man who days earlier had attacked the Harper ranger with a punch and then take his blood sample, which is the same on the scene of the crime. The criminals are the guy but just before arriving Walker, Gage and Austin who kill criminals.
At the trial against ranger Harper, he discovers that the real culprit is Garrett, Evans's colleague. Garret takes the defense hostage, but the rangers manages to disarm him followed by Harper knocking him down with a punch. After clarifying the story, the main protagonists leave the courtroom and go in the main hall. Walker leaves to return home, but the leader of the bank robbers returns with a gun. However, Rangers Harper, Gage, and Austin shoot him dead. Alex looks down to see a single bullet wound in her chest and falls to the ground.

Review: I really liked the way that they modernized it, yet kept it the same - it was comforting that Walker still had a silver truck.
Looks like this is either the total end of the shows or perhaps an attempt at a comeback.
I missed Tirvette, Alex is wonderful as usual and the Walker's little daughter is adorable.
I loved the movie but I hated the way it ended.
I always enjoyed Walker Texas Ranger.
I enjoy watching Chuck Norris in just about everything that he has ever played in.
This movie was well written and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.
I hope they are going to make another movie..
I liked the fight scenes much, much better than all of the other shows because this time they finally got their asses whipped and good.
The ending left an opening for the series to come back.
Walker, Texas Ranger ran for 203 episodes, from 1993 until 2001.
Revolving around a tough Texas Ranger (Norris) who fights tireless to uphold the law and maintain the moral balance.
He isn't as ruthless as usual, mostly because of his Captain job and his family life with Alex (they're married and have a daughter, Angela, played by Danilee Kelly Norris), but he's still Chuck Norris and he can still kick ass.
She has an easy back and forth with Norris and it's obvious that they're comfortable with one another.Clarence Gilyard, who played Walker's partner James Trivette during the show's entire run, appears for a cameo only.I believe Gilyard's cameo is just a cameo because he had other commitments he couldn't get out of when the movie was made.I'll skip everything else, you'll just have to watch it.
I don't want to give away any major spoilers here, but the movie ends on a major cliffhanger that, at least at the moment, has no chance of ever being resolved.
I'm pretty sure Chuck Norris and Walker, Texas Ranger fans would want a sequel.I have some issues with this, but Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire is a pretty good decent TV movie.
It's just too bad that it didn't get a sequel and we still don't know what happened at the end.
Maybe CBS will come to its senses, and give the world a real ending to the Walker, Texas Ranger story.Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire watch it as soon as you can.
I loved the series, and watch it in reruns everyday....
The story line was good, but not enough of the series actors in it...
It was a lot like the CSI series we see today, which is great...
Her and Gage seemed to be getting together at the end of the series...
it isn't a good thing when Hollywood makes sequels and does not even bring up original characters.
Chuck make another one and make the ending better, and save your wife!!!.
My whole family loves to watch Walker Texas Ranger.
Our youngest son loved watching Walker.
The time he spent watching Walker helped him though some very hard times.
We have always hoped Chuck would come back as Walker.
We hope this is a sign that we will be able to watch Walker every week again.
I liked the action they put in there and it showed lots of martial arts fights and those Korean guys had some speed in their arts.
The sad part was that Alex got shot and we as audience don't know for sure if she died or just down unconsciously.
At one time Alex got shot during a wedding and Walker wanted to ask her something (marry him) but never occurred until she stayed in the hospital a few days.
Now Walker walked out of the building as soon as Alex got shot.
Walker couldn't have heard the shot from outside the building and that is why he didn't come back in quickly.
I do hope that he'll come back to film a few more of Walker shows.
Family is more important than anything right now especially the kids are so young and they depend on parents...Even though we as audience really would love to see Walker for another 8 years!
It was nice change and its time to hope and pray that he'll either do another series or just another show soon..
I really enjoyed the movie, there was a lot of action and this time the rangers had a hard time with the bad guys.
I would really like to know why jimmy was only in it for a few minutes,I would like to know if there is going to be a continued show because the ending sucked it just left us wanting more, is Alex dead or is she just hurt bad?
Come on guys you have to have another movie or bring back the series.
So bring back "WALKER Texas RANGER" in another movie or the series.
I think CBS should make a new Walker Texas Ranger movie and replay part one.
I hope very soon they will rerun Trial by Fire so I can watch it.
I like Alex & Walker the best.
There were some hints at it in the series...those two really seem like they would make a good pair..
We are all hoping for a sequel to Walker Texas Ranger.
We need to know what happen to Alex!!
Bring Walker back for at least a sequel to TBF!!!Let's all sign this petition to CBS: http://www.petitiononline.com/petitions/wtr2006/signatures?page=1 and spread the word about it!!!!
I'm a huge fan of Chuck Norris and Walker, Texas Ranger.
I just finished watching the final 2-hour episode of the series and was reminded of an unresolved problem for the Walker series.
In the final episode, Walker has a vision which shows he and Alex wishing a "happy birthday" to their teen-age daughter.
This being the case, then Alex could not be dead, as we are left to guess at in "Trial by Fire".
There needs to be one more movie to tie up all the loose ends.
Chuck and Shree do a very good job acting together I watch walker Texas ranger every day.
I like the episode where Walker and Alex get married they make a good pair on the movie.
I really like Chuck Norris in all his movies I watch he is a very good actor.
Sheree Wilson is a very good actress they do a good job together I wish they would make another movie about Walker Texas Ranger.
I enjoyed the Walker series the entire time it ran.
I liked the movie as well, except the for the ending.
I hope so and I hope this time Clarence Gilyard doesn't have any conflicts so "Jimmy" can have a larger part.I agree that it would be great to see Nia Peeples back to see what has developed between her character and Judson Mills' character.My thought is that Alex doesn't survive this time and Walker becomes a single parent.
Not a great way to end things, but all good things do have to end some time.I was wondering if "The President's Man" movie was the pilot for another series and just didn't fly with execs; does anyone have an answer to this.
If so, I'd appreciate knowing.Bring us more Walker!.
Would like to know what happened at the end of the movie as my VCR didn't tape long enough.
My husband has been a Walker Texas Ranger die hard fan forever.
We do have most of his movies on Video so he can watch them over and over.
It would great to be in Texas sometime when they are filming the movies and get to work on one.
Let's hope for some more movies coming out.
Does anyone know if the little girl in this movie was his youngest daughter..
I have always love walker, Texas ranger.
I have always love walker, Texas ranger.
Chuck Norris must make another, the ending is killing me.
I can watch any episode or movie over and over.
Walker Texas Ranger isn't good.
i don't want to watch two people i don't know have sex then fight on "big Brother 23".
WTR: TBF blows away the other movie Walker Texas Ranger 3: Deadly Reunion.
I found that with all the time that has passed and all our nation has been through WTR: TBF just feels like a magical journey that ultimately concludes the Walker saga.
I could picture how our country would be today without Walker Texas Ranger, and I don't like what I see.
If there's another movie and she's not in it because she died, I won't watch it.
I thought the movie was OK, but where was Ranger Sydney Cook?
I can't believe it ended with Alex just lying there bleeding to death.
That's going to make a lot of loyal Walker fans really upset.
We love Alex and Walker together and we want Sydney and Cage together too.
Come on guys you have to do better than that for your loyal Walker fans..
Is this going to be the last show, I hope not because the end where Walkers wife gets shot and then drops and just ends right there is not good.
And what about walker, didn't show him coming back when his wife got shot and if she even made it or not.
I am a big fan of Chuck Norris, as well as a fan of his show, Walker, Texas Ranger.
This new movie has a lot of action, however, it certainly doesn't need the special effects.
I believe these effects ruined the movie, and made it more like a Saturday morning kids action series.
Also, Ranger Trivette is missing from this movie, even tho the IMDb list him in the cast credits.
How could they end this movie like this, when the one who shot her, is also dead?
OK,this was an very good movie until the last ten seconds.
I liked the way that they showed Walker's little girl.But they did not show enough of Ranger Trivett.That was strike one.
And a BIG strike three was they let Alex get killed in the end,or did they?
It seemed like a part one movie when she was laying there on the floor.
If they would come back and make another movie and NOT let her be killed it would be OK..
"Trial by Fire" is an excellent movie.
Chuck Norris played Walker real and great as always.
But as about whole movie itself, "Trial by Fire" is a very modern action movie with all traditions from TV-show "Walker, Texas Ranger".
The movie misses Rangers Trivette and Cook.
But this scene also means "Walker, Texas Ranger" will be back again.
Anyway, I loved the movie.
It was typical of Chuck Norris movies but the special "Crouching Tiger" fight effects were refreshing.
I also loved seeing Walker get knocked around a few times before blasting the bad guy with his gun.
I love it when Walker finishes off a long fight with a full roundhouse kick.
Chuck Norris movies do have a lot of violence but they always promote good in the World and that supersedes the violence.
this movie/TV show was great!!!!!!!!
and please tell me that MRS.walker didn't die please...i have watched all of the Texas ranger shows with walker in them they are all great.
if there are any more coming on Sunday night please let me know and i will watch them all from start to end.
and i hope that jimmy walkers partner will be back also i liked him ..the new ranger are good too now.GOOD JOB!!!
they were good guys that turned bad and you didn't know it until the last bit of the show.but again what about walkers wife?
If you enjoyed watching Walker Texas Ranger the TV show, you will probably like this TV movie.
It has enough action to keep Walker fans interested.
It tries to incorporate CSI type material that just doesn't fit Walker Texas Ranger.
I love Walker.
I liked the movie but my favorite character was not in it.
I hated the end I knew Alex was shot just by the look on her face.
If they make another movie Alex better no be dead.
I love Chuck Norris but Walker won't be the same without Alex.
Well I will love Walker ether way but it won't be as good.
If they don't make anther movie I won't like that.
I love Walker and Alex's relationship..
TRIAL BY FIRE is a TV movie spin-off of the long-running WALKER, TEXAS RANGER TV series starring the one and only Chuck Norris.
I haven't watched the show (unfortunately), but this film feels like a cross between a typical Norris movie and a typical PERRY MASON mystery.
For Norris fans, there isn't as much action as you'd hope, and he only gets to take part in two or three fight scenes, mostly at the end of the film.
New Walker Texas ranger trial by fire new movie Idea.
First off i think the whole cast should return and make a other good fights and I think Trent and Carlos should come back Even if its just a cameo but they both need to make another appearance Walker and James Trvet should be partners and they should find out who shot Alex (shree) and The both should fight together like the good walker Days.
(they should have someone try to kill Alex) gage will be their at all times (but i don't want Alex killed) and Sydney she watch Angela Walker while walker and trivets look for who ever shoot Alex.
Now i think if they do bring back Walker the should have Walker use his Cherokee thing and have it a Christean movie to and Walk should fight Alexs shooter and he should be a Karate master just like Walker and have a good Walker Fight.But trivets gage and Sidney, Trent and Carlos should Also fight in the movie.
and at the being of the movie they should Have the in the eyes of a ranger play again!
but the guy who shot at Ranger Rhett Harper should not be the guy who shot at Alex.This is what i thick of the next Walker movie should be all about..
Walker, Texas Ranger- Trial By Fire.
Walker, Texas Ranger- Trial By Fire.
I thought this movie was excellent, as most Chuck Norris Films.
I hope Walker might return.
The only thing that disturbed me was the ending when Walker exited the court room and Alex got shot.
As to the Koreans, I thought their fighting was quite good, though, a lot of the scenes caught me by surprise.
I must say this movie is a Mork and Mindy knock off, when watching it i got the chills, I even wet myself a little.
This movie is so bad I put my new born child in a box and left it in Mr. Norris mailbox.
He can raise my kid I'm not letting him into a world where he thinks chuck Norris is a karate expert Ill let him see what that hack is like in real life for the rest of his life..
Don't be fooled by the kiss of death that most Chuck Norris movies carry...
Don't be fooled by the kiss of death that most Chuck Norris movies carry...
This was actually a really fun movie to watch!
During the movie there were a lot of things going on.
All in all I am proud of this Chuck Norris movie, he certainly has come along way from crap like Lone Wolf Mcquade or Forest Warrior..
The movie was a little weird , i mean after all that happened in the 9 seasons it was running.
The movie began with a lot of lose ends and a lot of questions it never answers .
The ending was even weirder but i guess after all that Alex and Walker had been trough it was time for a little more depression, trivitte mysterly disappears along with sydney and they don't explain why .
They did keep to the original theme of the series , so that was a good thing and it was nice to see that walker kept the silver truck , the movie was modernized but it did it some good .
A+ Walker movie!.
A+ Walker movie!.
I think was a great episode of Walker Texas Ranger!
I really miss watching Walker, Alex, and the whole gang each week - I wish they were always on again!
As usual there was lots of great martial arts moves between the good guys and the bad guys.
This movie kinda surprised me in that it was unusual to see Walker get his butt kicked a couple of different times and that he had to resort to using his gun!
It was rare to see him use a gun in the series and in this movie, he used it several times..
I've recently joined the ranks of Walker Texas Ranger fans by watching reruns and purchasing the DVD sets.
I'm guessing not since she wasn't in the movie which was disappointing.
There needs to be another movie and not in 5 more years.
Like Trivette and Sydney and a little more action..
As far as this movie goes, it was cheesy, and had a lot of action, but would it be a Chuck Norris movie if it wasn't either of the previous.
Walker lasted for 203 episodes, which for any TV show these days, 100 is a lot.
Another note on the actors, a few of them have good credentials, such as Clearance Gilyard (Trivette) was also in Die Hard, one of the greatest movies of all time.
I will admit this movie had its downfalls, the ending, and the way Walker threw that guy into the tree limb (Very Awesome by the way).
