About

Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter with little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in the Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap the base colonel's daughter.
A lean, disciplined martial artist turns a standard military skirmish into a showcase of rapid-fire strikes and acrobatic precision. This 1980s relic trades cinematic polish for raw, uninhibited energy and authentic combat choreography.
