A straightforward 1980s action-adventure about a martial arts drifter thrust into military duty and forced to become a hero, driven by combat spectacle and redemption through skill.

Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter with little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in the Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap the base colonel's daughter.
