John Woo's first Hollywood feature stars
Jean-Claude Van Damme as
Chance Boudreaux, a down-and-out Cajun merchant seaman, who, after saving a young woman,
Natasha Binder (
Yancy Butler), from a gang of thugs on the streets of New Orleans, agrees to help her search for her father (
Chuck Pfarrer), a homeless Vietnam vet. They locate local businessman
Randall Poe (
Elliott Keener), for whom the vet had been working, and learn that her father has become a victim of wealthy sportsman
Emil Fouchon (
Lance Henriksen), who, along with his cronies, hunts homeless men as a form of recreation. After
Fouchon finds out that the girl is investigating the murder of her father, he arranges for she and
Chance to be ambushed, but they manage to escape into the backwoods of Louisiana -- his stomping grounds. Realizing he needs to regroup,
Fouchon assembles a private army to invade the bayous. They track the pair to the rustic cabin of
Chance's
Uncle Douvee (
Wilford Brimley), and the real fireworks begin.
