American Ninja (1985)

In the bustling heart of The Philippines, we meet Joe Armstrong, an enigmatic drifter with a distaste for authority but a deep reverence for martial arts. His life takes a drastic turn when a choice between prison and army enlistment finds him stationed on an American military base. His first mission, a convoy assignment, spirals into chaos when rebels ambush his platoon, seeking the weapons they're transporting and the base commander's daughter, Patricia, who's unexpectedly caught in the crossfire. With a blend of courage and skill, Joe thwarts the rebels' plans, returning Patricia to the safety of the base. However, his victory is tainted by the death of his entire platoon, leading his superiors to question his loyalty, bravery, and competence. The rebel leader, incensed by Joe's interference, swears retribution, unleashing a deadly ninja army to eliminate him and recapture Patricia. Caught in the whirlwind of conspiracy and vengeance, Joe must rely on his martial arts training to survive and protect Patricia. The tale of American Ninja is a high-octane adventure where every fight is a battle for survival and every victory a step closer to vindication.
