Classic 80's Action Flick, From Director Joseph Zito (Missing In Action, Invasion U.S.A.) And Dolph Lundgren (In His First Action Role). The Film Was Controversial Upon It's Release As It Deals With An Elite KGB Operative As It's Hero.

The Film Concerns, Soviet KGB Agent Lt. Nikolai (Lundgren), While In Africa Is Tasked With Eliminating A Black Rebel Leader. The Mission Fails & Nikolai Is Tortured By His Commanding Officers, He Escapes & Joins The Rebels Fight To Free Africa From It's Russian Oppressors.

This Film Is Lundgren's 3rd Major Film Appearance, And His First Action Role. With A Decent Story, Script, Atmosphere, Action Sequences, Storytelling & It's Supporting Cast And We Have A Cult Classic That Does Not Fail To Entertain.
