In the year 2007, crime has risen at an exponential rate. Once highly populated metropolises such as Los Angeles are no longer inhabitable. These cities have transformed into "Hell Zones," ruled by violent street gangs. The Hell Zone, formerly called the "Zone of Personal Freedom," is a safe-haven for criminal warpaths everywhere. This Hell Zone in LA is controlled by a criminal mastermind named Drexal (Joseph Ruskin). For the sake of entertaining his crowds of decadent losers and underlings, Drexal has staged a series of lethal, no-holds-barred matches in the "Death Ring," where the winner takes all of the glory...while the defeated one shall lose his self-respect (or maybe just his head). Meanwhile, two brave cops, Braniff (Chad McQueen), and Sledge (Gary Daniels) must risk their badges...and their lives when they enter Los Angeles's "Hell Zone."
Stunts
Gary Daniels does a split-kick that defies both physics and dignity.
Production
The 'future' 2007 looks suspiciously like a rented warehouse on a Tuesday.
Director
Richard Pepin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jim 'The Ultimate Warrior' Hellwig plays The Swordsman in one of his few film roles before returning to wrestling full-time. He reportedly hated every minute of the shoot.
This film is essentially a loose remake of 1989's 'Cage' starring Lou Ferrigno, which Pepin also produced—proving Hollywood has always loved recycling the exact same trash.
