Kurt Russell stars as an elite warrior selected at birth for combat, stripped of his individuality and isolated from society. Todd (Russell) stoically adheres to one overriding principle--kill or be killed--until he is defeated in combat by Caine 607 (Jason Scott Lee), the best of the next generation of fighters. Severely wounded, Todd is jettisoned on a backwater planet, where the pacifist local people nurse Todd back to health and gradually awaken Todd's long-suppressed humanity. But when Caine 607 and his battalion attack, Todd rallies the gentle people who have helped him to defend themselves against the ruthless invaders.
