Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV, The Defender, Universal Soldier) stars as Nick Cherenko, a retired Russian Special Forces hitman in this fast-paced, action packed film. When his wife and young son are killed by a group of Russian mobsters, Cherenko leaves the country and starts a new life in the U.S. as a mechanic, far from violence and war. He leads a rather peaceful life until, one day, an elderly Russian woman appears and offers Cherenko a large sum of money to rescue her kidnapped daughter. Initially reluctant to take on the job, Cherenko changes his mind when he discovers the identity of the kidnappers - the men who killed his wife and son. Nick seeks vengeance, waking up the soldier inside himself in order to settle the score.
