After fighting two Anglo-Afghan wars, the Afghans are able to gain foreign policy independence from the British post the 3rd Anglo-Afghan War in 1919. Post that, Afghanistan mostly stays on path to modernization, though the transfer of power across governments is marked by violence - assassinations and coups. The Soviets invade in 1979 and when they leave about a decade later, the Mujahideen fight amongst themselves and the Taliban is able to defeat them to form the government.

The story of Bufford Pusser is an inspiring one. He returns to his home town to find it has fallen prey to corruption at every level. He stands up to the gangsters running his beloved town and becomes town Sheriff. He uses this position to clear the town of this corruption, but it comes with a tragic price. The story of Walking Tall (1973) is based on the true life story of Bufford Pusser portrayed by Joe Don Baker. It also launched a successful franchise, sparking two sequels, a television remake and series, and inspiration for countless other films.

The remake of the film in 2004 was one of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & WWE Films earliest movies. The names may have changed, and the story modernized, but the basic story of Bufford Pusser remains in tact. But how does it fair against the original? The Rock and Joe Don Baker step in the Invasion of the Remake ring and only one will come out Walking Tall.
