Universal Soldier is a 1992 science fiction action film directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. The film follows the story of two soldiers who are revived from cryogenic stasis and turned into super-soldiers as part of a top-secret government program.
The plot begins with a group of soldiers sent to Vietnam in the late 1960s, where they are killed in a firefight. Their bodies are then cryogenically frozen by the government and stored in a secret facility, where they are eventually brought back to life decades later as part of the Universal Soldier program.
Van Damme plays Luc Deveraux, one of the soldiers who is brought back to life, while Lundgren plays Andrew Scott, a rival soldier who is also revived. Both characters are programmed to be loyal and obedient to their superiors, but as they begin to regain their memories and sense of self, they begin to question their orders and the morality of their mission.
As they struggle to come to terms with their past and their newfound abilities, the two soldiers are sent on a mission to stop a group of terrorists who have taken over a nuclear power plant. Along the way, they face off against other super-soldiers and grapple with the consequences of their actions.
