Popular action star Jean-Claude Van Damme teams with one of the cinema's most dynamic directors, John Woo, in the Alphaville-Renaissance production of Universal Pictures' action-drama Hard Target. Van Damme is Chance Boudreaux, a down-and-out New Orleans merchant seaman, who uses his high-powered martial arts skills to battle a sadistic band of hunters who prey on homeless veterans in a deadly safari game. His quest begins when he comes to the rescue of a young woman (Yance Butler) whose father was a recent victim of the killers. The supporting cast includes Lance Henriksen (Near Dark), playing the chief hunter with cold-blooded resolve. Beloved character actor Wilfred Brimley turns in a salty, lively performance as Chance's crafty Cajun uncle.
