A Russian KGB agent is sent to Africa to kill an anti-Communist black revolutionary. However, he has a change of heart when he sees how the Russians and their Cuban allies are killing and repressing the locals, so he switches sides and helps the rebels.

A brutal, no-holds-barred 80s action flick. Expect explosive set pieces, a morally conflicted hero, and a healthy dose of Cold War paranoia. It's a straightforward, violent ride with a clear good-vs-evil narrative, perfect for a testosterone-fueled evening.
