DOA: Dead or Alive

DOA: Dead or Alive

They're the ultimate fighters. They've got the looks. They've got the moves, and the men fall at their feet.

A high-octane, visually stylized action-adventure built around martial-arts spectacle, female fighters, and playful genre excess rather than emotional depth or narrative complexity.

Four beautiful rivals at an invitation-only martial-arts tournament join forces against a sinister threat. Princess Kasumi is an aristocratic warrior trained by martial-arts masters. Tina Armstrong is a wrestling superstar. Helena Douglas is an athlete with a tragic past. Christie Allen earns her keep as a thief and an assassin-for-hire.
