BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A powerful and dangerous cult, hidden on a remote island fortress, has brainwashed the daughter of a U.S. senator. With local authorities powerless and time running out, the government turns to a highly specialized team of martial arts experts known as "Force: Five."

Led by seasoned agent Jim Martin, the team includes five elite fighters, each with unique combat skills--from unarmed street-fighting and karate to high-impact kickboxing. Their mission: infiltrate the island compound, uncover the secrets of the cult's charismatic and manipulative leader, and rescue the senator's daughter before she becomes permanently indoctrinated--or worse.

From writer / director Robert Clouse, the auteur of Bruce Lee's legendary Enter the Dragon and Jackie Chan's The Big Brawl, along with a diverse cast of martial arts legends including Joe Lewis (Bloodfight 2: The Deathcage), Bong Soo Han (Kill The Golden Goose), Sonny Barnes (Black Belt Jones), Benny "The Jet" Urquidez (Dragons Forever) and Richard Norton (Mad Max: Fury Road) & Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street), comes this early 1980's entry in the classic martial arts action genre that's "a lot of fun and that's precisely what makes the film so entertaining and has a sense of humor about itself and is a very cute, little action picture" (Gene Siskel, Sneak Previews).

As the team makes their way through the treacherous island, they face deadly traps, cult enforcers, and mind-controlled followers willing to kill for their cause. Along the way, personal rivalries and brutal tests of strength push the team to their limits. The deeper they go, the more they realize the cult's influence is stronger and more sinister than they imagined.

Packed with fast-paced martial arts action, stylized combat sequences, and the gritty energy of 1980s genre cinema, Force: Five is a high-stakes showdown between good and evil. It delivers a thrilling blend of martial arts mayhem, suspense, and cult intrigue, appealing to fans of old-school tournament-style action films and exotic adventure thrillers.
