SOLDIER

A fallen hero has one last battle to fight. Galactic wars of the near-future are fought by soldiers trained to be merciless, obedient warriors. But times change. New bio-engineered combatants make veterans like Sgt. Todd (Kurt Russell) obsolete. But don't expect to toss Todd on the scrap heap without a fight. Fans of sci-fi action get their viewing orders with Soldier, a hotwired-to-tomorrow adventure written by David Webb Peoples (Blade Runner, Unforgiven) and directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon). Spectacular in scale, Soldier backs its searing action with a starling vision in which mammoth "crawler"; vehicles roam, planetary outcasts survive amid the jetsam of Earth's past and technology is almost beyond human control. It's a vision that's more than an eerie future. It's total combat zone.
