Synopsis

Todd (Kurt Russell) is a veteran soldier of numerous galactic conflicts and, although he is one of the best, his days are drawing to a close. A new breed of “engineered” soldiers, unmatched in their battle expertise, stamina and ruthless capacity for killing wipe out both of Todd’s squad members and severely wounds Todd in a government ordered test.

Assumed dead, Todd is dumped on a remote planet-a garbage outpost-peopled only by a group of lost and forgotten pioneers who gradually nurse him back to health and teach him about life beyond the battlefield. When a battalion of the new soldiers attack the outpost, Todd is called to defend his adopted home with the help of the other inhabitants.
