01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Alexander Grady, a widower and father of a five-year-old son is chosen to represent the United States of America in an international martial arts tournament against Team Korea. Once a rising star in the martial arts world, he suffered a shoulder injury that forced him into retirement. Also chosen for the team are Tommy Lee, a skilled fighter and martial arts instructor, Travis Brickley, an extremely brash fighter with a short fuse; Virgil Keller, a devout Buddhism; and Sonny Grasso, a streetwise fighter from Detroit, Michigan.
