Redbelt

Set in the west-side of Los Angeles fight world, a world inhabited by bouncers, cagefighters,
cops and special forces types, Redbelt, is the story of Mike Terry (Chewitel

pursue an honorable life by operating a self-defense studio with a samurais code.
Terry and his wife Sondra (Alicia Braga), struggle to keep the business running to make
ends meet. An accident on a dark, rainy night at the Academy between an off duty
officer (Max Martini) and a distraught lawyer (Emily Moritimer) puts in motion a series
of events that will change Terrys life dramatically introducing him to a world of
promoters (Ricky Jay, Joe Mantegna) and movie star Chet Frank (Tim Allen). Faced
with this, in order to pay off his debts and regain his honor, Terry must step into the ring
for the first time of his life. (texte officiel du distributeur)
