Watch Red Scorpion

Nikolai, is a Russian GRU agent who is sent to Africa to exterminate an anti-Communist radical. He ultimately changes his mind when he realizes that the Russians and their Cuban allies are murdering the locals. Ultimately he sides with the rebels in their fight for freedom. Nikolai (Dolph Lundgren) is a Special Forces agent (GRU) operating in profound undercover work. He is assigned to penetrate and quash a rebel African rebellion. At the first sign of his rebellion, the Russians give orders to have him killed.

Nikolai escapes through the rough terrain teamed up with an American journalist, who is very opinionated. After he allies himself with a tribe of native rebels, his strength in combat earns him the nickname “Red Scorpion.”
