Plot

The film stars Olivier Gruner as a burned out police assassin named Alex. During a mission for his bosses in the futuristic LAPD, and kills several freedom fighters, including one of the leaders Rosaria, played by Jennifer Gatti. He tries to leave the LAPD, and he becomes a petty criminal, doing odd jobs in the underwold. However his LAPD bosses are just letting him run free for a while, and when they need him, they get him. His old boss (played by Tim Thomerson) has him kidnapped.

They bring him back for one last mission to kill the leaders of the freedom fighters. The only problem is, the freedom fighters ("Red Army Hammerheads") are fighting not against government control of peoples lives, but for humanity's future. A new race of androids is infiltrating human society, copying the minds of certain people into robotic bodies, and making them loyal to the cyborg cause. Alex discovers he has a bomb implanted in his arm, he has to find the leader of the freedom fighters (played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) to get the bomb deactivated. He finds the leaders and joins the cause of the freedom fighters. But as they are making their escape in an "aerodyne", a cyborg that was thought destroyed attacks, and Alex is revealed to be a cyborg himself!

The evil cyborg is defeated, and the aerodyne flies off. The movie ends with Alex defeating his rival on a rooftop. Alex walks off with his sidekick (played by Merle Kennedy) and they joke about how they are going to smuggle his metallic body through Los Angeles customs.
