Todd (Kurt Russell) has been trained since birth, through brutal conditioning, to be an emotionless killing machine. After 40 years, Todd and his comrades are deemed obsolete when Col. Mekum (Jason Isaacs) promotes a new breed of genetically flawless soldiers. Discarded on the trash-covered planet of Arcadia 234, Todd is rescued by colonists Mace (Sean Pertwee) and Sandra (Connie Nielsen) -- but he's soon forced to face his stronger replacements when the military seeks to wipe out the colony.

See more thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Will G @Kingofthepixies 11/11/2024 Criminally underrated! Needs a red release, was before it's time. 👍🏻 See more Big Country Retro T @RT35692861 09/13/2024 Honestly, the story is kinda lacking but the sets, costumes, atmoaphere and cgi holds up its actualy a great sci-fi action movie See more Fred N @RT56492849 04/24/2024 I remember seeing this movie as a kid once, after years later I was still searching for this movie name.
