Two martial arts champions find themselves teaming up to fight a battle for their lives in this action-thriller. Sato (
Kevin Ula Christie) is an eccentric multi-billionaire with a keen interest in the martial arts. Once a year, Sato and his men scour the globe looking for the best of the best in several different fighting styles to bring them together for a special tournament on a private island, with the final victor walking away with a purse of one million dollars. Jack (
J.D. Rifkin) is an ordinary man with extraordinary fighting skills who is tapped to take part in the tournament, though he displays a certain reluctance about leaving his wife and children behind. However, Jack runs afoul of Ivan (
Tony O'Brien), a ruthless gambler with criminal connections, who is determined to see that Jack never leaves the Island. Jack makes a valuable friend in Rick (
T.J. Storm), a top-rank fighter who used to be associated with Ivan, and together Jack and Rick fight for their freedom and survival against two of Ivan's underlings, Slater (
Paul Logan) and Rusty (
Mark Griffin). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
