Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

Actors: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Scott Adkins
PlotA man named John awakens from a coma to learn that his wife and daughter were brutally murdered during a home invasion. Wrestling with fragmented memories of the incident, he is consumed by an overwhelming desire for vengeance. The trail leads him to Luc Deveraux, a former Universal Soldier, now a reclusive warrior seeking to create an army of unstoppable soldiers freed from government control. As John delves deeper, he discovers the existence of a whole hierarchy of soldiers like Deveraux, all part of a program to develop and control these enhanced fighters.
Struggling with his personal quest for justice and haunted by hallucinations, John encounters a series of obstacles, including the police and other Universal Soldiers, who are also on his trail. He finds an unlikely ally in a man named Magnus, a rogue Universal Soldier from Deveraux's army. With pieces of his past still missing, John's journey takes him through a violent and unpredictable path where he questions his own humanity and the ethics of the men who created him. He must confront the dark reality of the program and the sinister motives behind it if he hopes to uncover the truth about his family and his own identity.
