Universal Soldier: Regeneration

Director: John Hyams
Actors: Dolph Lundgren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Andrei Arlovski
PlotA group of terrorists led by Commander Topov seizes the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and threatens to release a cloud of deadly radioactive dust if their demands are not met. The terrorists have an advantage with the presence of NGU, a next-generation Universal Soldier (UniSol) that is stronger, faster, and more formidable than previous models. As the situation escalates, the authorities are desperate to resolve the crisis without a catastrophic outcome.
In response, the U.S. government reactivates Luc Deveraux, a decommissioned Universal Soldier, to infiltrate the facility and neutralize the threat. He is still plagued by memories of his past life and struggles with his own identity. Accompanied by a team of UniSols, Deveraux must confront not only the terrorists and the NGU but also faces the possibility of encountering a familiar adversary from his past, who has been reanimated for the sole purpose of combat. The stage is set for an intense confrontation that will test the limits of Deveraux's abilities and his resolve to become more than the weapon he was created to be.
