==Biography==
The exact circumstances of his arrest are unknown, but it is confirmed that he killed several men, getting him sent to . On a Saturday afternoon, he was sent from one prison to another for his execution, along with two other inmates named Wells and Caudell. However, during his prison transfer, the prison bus stopped at Anderson, , as Caudell was becoming increasingly sick, possibly with .
Meanwhile on that day, a gang named Street Thunder attempted a killing spree after six of its members were ambushed and killed by . When the four Warlords of Street Thunder (one , one , one , and one al) approach an , the Caucasian Warlord murders the ice cream man and the little girl he was serving, Kathy Lawson. Kathy's father sees the bodies after ending his phone call.
When Mr. Lawson sees the Warlords' car speeding off as he cradles Kathy's body, the dying ice cream man tells him to get his from his van. Lawson does so before chasing the Warlords in his own car. Later at night time, Lawson catches the Caucasian Warlord and unloads all six bullets into his chest, but Lawson soon sees more of the gang approaching from the distance, so he flees to Precinct 13, which is closing due to relocation.
Lawson mumbles what had happened to the few police staff that are in the building; Lt. Ethan Bishop and Sgt. Chaney, as well as secretaries Leigh and Julie. He then passes out in the station. Meanwhile, Wilson's prison bus stops at the station to treat Caudell, but the gang attacks with silenced guns, killing Chaney with guns from the shadows. After the gang surround the building, they kill Caudell and the four prison guards - Officer Starker, Patrolman Tramer, Patrolman Baxter, and the bus driver - and shoot up the building from the outside.
Bishop saves Wilson and Wells by uncuffing them and letting them enter the station, but still puts them in the cells. Bishop eventually frees Wilson and Wells, giving them guns for extra defense. The gang storms the building, killing Julie with a stray bullet. Wilson, Wells, Bishop, and Leigh defend the building and an unconscious Lawson, killing over a dozen gangsters, with Leigh getting shot in her arm in the process.
The gang falls back, but they also hide the dead bodies of the gangsters, the officers, and Caudell, in order to hide evidence of where the gunshots came from. Wells is eventually chosen to sneak out of the precinct through a sewer line, and he soon appears out of the nearby manhole cover, before crawling to a nearby car. He hot-wires the car and drives off to get help, but he is shot in the back of the head by a gang member who was hiding in the back seat.
Meanwhile, two police officers responding to reports of gunfire find the dead body of a telephone repairman hanging from a pole near the police station, prompting them to call for backup. The gang rallies for an all-out final assault, so Wilson, Bishop, and Leigh take the still-catatonic Lawson with them to the station's basement. Leigh and Lawson hide at the back of the basement as Wilson and Bishop protect themselves with a large metal sign as the gang violently storms the building.
With his last bit of ammo, Bishop shoots a tank full of gas that he had previously strapped to and placed in the corner. The tank explodes and kills all the gang members in the basement hallway, while the remainder of the gang flees as police arrive to secure the station. Police go down into the basement and discover the four survivors. Lawson is wheeled out on a stretcher and taken to a hospital. Another stretcher is offered to Leigh, but she declines it and exits unassisted.
When an officer attempts to handcuff Wilson, Bishop angrily intervenes before asking Wilson to walk out of the station with him.
==Trivia==
*Several people, including , consider Joston to have been a vastly underrated actor whose talent was not duly recognised during his lifetime.
*Director said that he wrote the role of Wilson with Joston in mind, and imbued the character with some of Joston's personality traits. When John was writing the screenplay for the film, he and Joston both lived in the same flats and became friends. Having gotten to know Joston and his dark sense of humour, John felt that his neighbour would make an interesting anti-hero.
