Nikolai (Dolph Lundgren)
is a Spetsnaz-a Soviet agent par excellence trained in
deep undercover work. Assigned to infiltrate and squelch a rebel
African uprising, Nikolai unexpectedly finds himself drawn to
the guerillas' cause, a betrayal that enrages his Russian superiors,
who order his immediate termination. Making his escape through
the harsh desert in the company of an adversarial American journalist
(M. Emmet Walsh), Nikolai allies himself with a tribe of rebel
bushmen, his fierceness in combat earning him the nickname "Red
Scorpion." Nikolai's new-found independance climaxes in
his leadership of the rebels against his former comrades, storming
their headquarters in a lethal, no-quarter showdown.
