Premise:
Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as a soldier drawn into the world of modern-day gladiators fighting for the amusement of the rich in this fast-moving action thriller. Upon receiving news that his brother in Los Angeles is seriously injured, Lyon Gaultier (Van-Damme) deserts the French Foreign Legion from a remote outpost in North Africa.
Fleeing from two of the Legion's security force, who have orders to bring him back at any cost, Lyon reluctantly turns to the illegal, bare-knuckle underground fighting circuit to raise the money he needs to help his brother's family. This riveting action-adventure combines the raw power and charisma of Van Damme at his peak with the exciting world of no-holds-barred street fighting.
