When a bandit tribe leader, Razoulli Al-Jabber Al-Nasser (Amrish Puri) and his troops attack their region, the army led by brave Lieutenant Khalid (Dharmendra) fights back and defeats the enemy troops.

Razoulli manages to escape and in the process abducts Khalid's pregnant wife, who gives birth to a baby boy but herself dies during childbirth.

Meanwhile, Khalid remarries and has a second son Samir (Karan Kapoor) who is sent abroad to be raised and educated in a secure environment.

Sultan swears to avenge his father's death, and finds out that the person responsible is General Khalid.

Sultan learns that Khalid's son, Samir and his fiancée, Zarina (Juhi Chawla), are to arrive.

When Samir and Zarina arrive, Sultan overpowers them, but they manage to escape as Khalid comes to rescue them.
