Synopsis :
Van Damme plays Leon Gaultier, a member of the French Foreign Legion station in Djibouti, North Africa. His brother, who is married to an American woman, is burned alive in a drug deal gone wrong and suffers third-degree burns, and dies shortly thereafter. Leon deserts his legion when they would not let him leave to see his brother by attacking fellow Legionnaires, commandeering a jeep, escaping through the desert and working on a tramp steamer in an effort to flee to the U.S. to help the family of his murdered brother. Meanwhile, the Legion commanding officer arrives at the French Embassy to the United States, where he is bluntly told the LAPD couldn't care less about hunting down Leon, to which he orders two Legionnaires to find Leon. He arrives in New York and needs to travel to California to be with his brother's family. Along the way, he meets Joshua, a man who runs fights for money. Tagging along with him, Leon meets Cynthia, who also specializes in the same thing. Figuring that this would be the best way to earn the money he needs, he fights in no holds barred bare-knuckle fights to finance the trip. Along the way we have some interesting fights. Including the fight with Cynthia's fighter (played by Jeff Langton) with the notable line in it. "Hey you're kind of pretty....I don't know if I want to fight you or fuck you." Once he gets to L.A., he tracks down his brother's widow, who is reluctant at first to accept any sort of financial help even though it is apparent that she needs it, mostly because she is angry with him since she feels that he deserted his brother years ago. Lyon then decides to start fighting to help his sister-in-law and his niece and Joshua would act as an insurance man who delivers checks to her frequently.
Meanwhile, agents of the Foreign Legion has caught up with him in Los Angeles, and they are now trying to apprehend him once more. Leon of course doesn't want any part of it, and a fight ensues. After a struggle, he manages to escape, but with a broken rib. It is also learned that Cynthia, Leon's sponsor, has been seeking to take advantage of Leon's string of victories by stacking the odds in favor of a hugely tough fighter named "Attila the Hun", to which she will use Leon by betting a large amount on "Atilla", and makes an arrangement with the Legion soldiers that she will hand him over to them after he has been defeated thoroughly. Leon has his final fight with Atilla, but though he is hampered by his broken rib. After an intense fight where it appeared "Attila" had won, Joshua reveals during a time-out that they both were being used. Leon, angered by this news, bounces back, and he summons up all his remaining strength to defeat Atilla. Two members of the Foreign Legion are in attendance though, and they escort him back to the apartment, where they give him some time to wash up before being deported back to Africa, where he will clearly be court martialed for desertion. After an emotional good-bye, Leon and the Legion members speed off. Just a bit down the road, moved by the family's heartbreak, they decide to lie to the Foreign Legion command by making it appear that they failed in their mission to recapture Leon, and they let him go out of respect for his determination, will power, and personal integrity, both during the fight and helping out his sister-in-law all this time. Ecstatic, Leon returns to the apartment, where his sister-in-law, niece, and Joshua are all both surprised and thankful that he has come back.
