The adventures of Nova, a young fighter who is guardian of his family legacy, an all-powerful martial arts style known only as The Avenging Fist. When Combat 21, the leader of an underground movement known as The Red Dragons discovers the existence of the style, he will stop at nothing to learn its secrets, and combine its strength with the all-conquering Power Glove, a technological fighting tool, designed to unlock the unknown power of the human mind and body.
When the Red Dragons prepare to use this unstoppable combination to take over the world, Nova joins forces with fellow warriors Iron Surfer, Jazz and Dark to combat this dark emergent force and restore balance to the World. But first he must discover the secrets behind the disappearance of his father.

This should have been amazing. Great cast, good director and stunning CGI. However, the plot is silly to say the least and the characters are not well developed. The fight scenes are also too short and edited too quickly. A nice idea but disappointing. Some good extras with the disc.
