Diamond Dogs (2007)

"Diamond Dogs" is a riveting tale of survival, treachery, and unquenchable thirst for fortune set in the rugged mountains of Inner Mongolia. The story follows Ronson (Dolph Lundgren), an American ex-soldier reduced to a life of desperation and illegal prizefights in the grimy backstreets of a Mongolian city, all to pay off mounting debts. His life takes a dramatic twist when an arrest leads him to the enigmatic Anika (Yu Nan) and her wealthy stepfather Chambers (William Shriver), a New York art collector with an enticing proposition. Having fallen foul of the law, Ronson is presented with an ultimatum: settle his debts within a month or face a return to prison. But fate intervenes with an unexpected opportunity when Ronson is thrust into a staged fight, unknowingly auditioning for a perilous expedition led by Chambers. With the promise of a payout large enough to settle his debts, Ronson finds himself in the role of a guide and protector, leading an eclectic group that includes Anika, several of Chambers' men, and archaeologist Ang Shaw, on a quest into the unforgiving Mongolian wilderness. Their mission is to locate a long-lost Buddhist temple, hidden since the Soviet crackdown on religion in the 1930s. Inside, a priceless artifact waits: The Tangka of God Ochirvaani, an ornate tapestry bedecked with diamonds worth $50 million. But this isn't just a treasure; it's a relic believed to possess profound spiritual, and possibly supernatural, powers. It is also said to be shielded by a deadly curse. The journey into the mountains is fraught with danger. The harsh conditions and relentless rivalries with Zhukov and his band of ruthless Russian mercenaries are just the beginning. For the real threat isn't just human greed; it's something far more sinister. As bullets fly and booby-traps lurk around every corner, the expedition must confront the chilling reality: the treasure they seek is protected by an entity far beyond their comprehension. Who will survive this deadly quest? Who will claim the coveted prize, and at what cost? The curse of the Tangka waits to claim its next victim.
