Van Damme portrays a 1920's street criminal whose run from the police thrusts him into a forbidding realm of gun smugglers, pirates and an ancient, underworld kickboxing competition. The legendary contest, known as the Ghan-gheng, pits the world's deadliest martial artists against each other in a furious winner-take-all battle. Forced to compete, Van Damme faces the ultimate test of manhood where one wrong move could cost him not only the competition, but his life. Roger Moore co-stars in this spectacular period epic that holds audiences spellbound with its ancient mystery, stunning scenery and thrilling action.
