High Voltage, a 1998 action thriller film, follows two ex-convicts as they try to pull off a heist on a Los Angeles high-rise building, which also happens to be the headquarters of a corrupt corporation. The film stars Antonio Sabato Jr. as Josh, a former electrician with a criminal past, who is contacted by Lance, played by William Zabka, his former partner in crime, to plan a high-stakes robbery. Shannon Lee, who is the daughter of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee, takes on the role of Jimmy, a computer hacker who is brought into the team to help pull off the heist.

The film opens with Josh being released from prison, having spent five years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. He is determined to start anew and leave his past behind him. However, his plans are upended when he is reunited with Lance, who proposes a daring heist that could potentially solve all their financial problems. The pair soon discovers that they need the help of a hacker to pull off the job, and that's where Jimmy comes in. Together, the three of them begin to plan and execute the robbery.

The heist is set to take place in a high-security building that is home to the headquarters of a corrupt corporation. The building is heavily guarded, and their target is hidden in the ultra-secure research wing of the building. As the team proceeds with their operation, they encounter a host of obstacles, including security guards, alarms, and unexpected turns of events that threaten to derail their operation.

As the heist unfolds, Josh finds himself torn between his loyalty to his friend Lance and his growing attraction to Jimmy. Things get even more complicated when unexpected twists in the plot force the team to improvise and adapt, leading to a tense and thrilling climax that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

High Voltage is a well-executed action thriller that effectively blends suspense with high-stakes heist action. The film boasts strong performances by its lead actors, with Antonio Sabato Jr. delivering a convincing portrayal of a man trying to turn his life around, while Shannon Lee brings both toughness and vulnerability to her role as the tech-savvy hacker.
