The Red Canvas

Bad boy street kid Johnny Sanchez (Ernie Reyes, Jr.) feeds his pride during his prison sentence by fighting in "gladiator wars" promoted by his warden, Harbin Rask (John Savage). The little money he wins from this brutal life, he sends to his past love (Sara Downing) and their son, Oscar, who he hasn't seen in five years.

The warden (John Savage), gives Johnny a second chance at life, by sponsoring him to fight in The Red Canvas, a professional MMA tournament ruled by General Insou Krang (George Takei), an ex-Vietcong General, now operating as a corrupt mogul in the biotech industry. Once released from prison and faced with the plight of his broken family, Johnny finds that raw talent is not enough. Heroes must learn to fight with weapons forged in the heart.
