Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

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.

A guilty pleasure. Produced in the age of cheesy action movies (and yes there is cheese here too), but it is Russel's performance that stands out in what would ordinarily be a terrible movie. He is the diamond in this rough. I will always enjoy this movie.

Yes at times can be very cheesy with subpar acting. This movie does have a lot of heart especially towards the end. A great popcorn movie. This movie definitely doesn't deserve 5-stars but I gave it that anyways. Long live the 90s!

This is one of Kurt Russell's finest movies. It has a lot of shoot'em up, and it has it's tender moment's when Todd gets in touch with his humanity.
