The Rage is a 1997 Canadian–American action-thriller film directed by Sidney J. Furie, starring Lorenzo Lamas, Gary Busey, Kristen Cloke and Roy Scheider.

Lamas and Cloke play FBI agents who are tasked with pursuing a murderous militia driven mad by their experiences in the Vietnam War.

In Wasatch County, Utah, a militia of psychosexual thrill-killers led by Art Dacy and his lover Cyndi commit a string of vicious rapes and murders targeting women.

After the pursuit of a kidnapper hits a dead-end, FBI criminal profiler Kelly McCord is assigned to head the murders' task force and partnered with veteran agent Nick Travis to assist Sheriff Glen Dobson.

Dacy, enraged at McCord's suggestion in a news interview that he is sexually impotent, kidnaps and tries to rape her, but Travis shoots him and allows her to break free.

That night, the militia attacks the Bountiful Society, but Travis, Dobson, and the SWAT team intervene and kill the militiamen in a shootout before they can massacre the attendees, while McCord arrives and runs over Joe but is knocked out.

Intertitles reveal Travis and McCord were cleared of wrongdoing, married, and are now instructors at the FBI Academy, where "John Taggart and Art Dacy are now two-day courses in their curriculum".

[5] Lorenzo Lamas, whose career had been confined to the lower rungs of genre filmmaking, viewed the project as a major step towards more legitimate roles.

Robert Firsching of AllMovie opined that "[t]his silly, over-the-top action film has a great hammy performance by Gary Busey" but "[t]here are way too many plot threads dangling everywhere [...] Still, those in search of mindless shootouts and hissable villains will find enough to enjoy".

[20] The British Film Institute's magazine Sight and Sound wrote that "Busey goes into grinning overdrive in an utterly shameless performance in which his anger springs from losing his manhood during sex with a Viet Cong woman.

"[14] TV Guide commented that "logic is not this film's imperative", adding that "contributing to the movie's moronic approach is the central figure of Gary Busey, a star so over-the-top he can never be taken seriously.
