The movie starts at
the airport, where a plane arrives from Paris. A chauffeur stands,
holding a sign that says 'Ewing'. Soon after, JR gets off the plane and
walks to the chauffeur. "Let's not waste any time...I've got a town
to take back." JR eagerly says as they walk towards the
terminal.JR's first stop is Ewing Oil, where he wants to pay a visit to
Cliff Barnes. It's been nearly six years since he was last in Dallas,
and he stares up at the building that's so familiar to him.
It has been two years since Bobby and Sue
Ellen Ewing took over control of Ewing Oil. Although J.R. is
successfully managing a large oil conglomerate, he wants to once again
own his father's company. When he discovers that Ray Krebbs' land, which
is heavily mortgaged, has undiscovered oil on it, he knows that if he
plays his cards right, he can purchase the land and have enough money to
regain control of Ewing Oil. But his business rival Carter McKay also
has his eyes on Ray's property, and may soon join Bobby and Sue Ellen as
an executive at Ewing Oil. Both parties hatch schemes in order to get
what they want.
