Hurricane Smith

A cocky, but talented, American professional boxer, Billy 'Hurricane' Smith, is framed for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to a brutal prison colony in Southeast Asia. There, he is forced to participate in a series of dangerous bare-knuckle fights to the death for the entertainment of the prison's sadistic warden and the local crime bosses. Smith must rely on his fighting skills and wits to survive and find a way to expose the corruption and escape.
