Todd is a man raised from
birth to be a soldier. He excelled in his
training and learned to give no more thought to
killing as to eating. As a veteran of many
campaigns on many planets, he has put down
revolution and slaughtered enemy troops of all
shapes and forms. Todd is the best there is until
a new breed of genetically engineered soldiers
arive on the scene to take his place. He and his
fellow soldiers are dumped on a primitive planet
and assumed to be dead. Todd alone survives and
learns a life apart from that of a soldier with
the inhabitants of this primitive war. When new
genetic superhuman soldiers are dispatched to
wipe out everyone on his new home, Todd fights
back and kills them all.
Caine 607 played by
Jason Scott Lee
Caine 607 is the first
genetic super human soldier that Sergeant Todd
and his unit encounter up close and personal.
Caine runs a mile in less than half the time Todd
can and Caine is incredibly strong with
incredible endurance. During a fight on suspended
chains Caine kills two of Todd's soldiers and
knocks Todd off the chain and he is believed to
be dead. Before this great fall Todd reaches for
this superhuman's eye and permanently takes it
out of commission. Caine then lacked depth
perception and is used largely as a driver from
then on because of his injury. Caine finally
meets up with Todd, the agent that infliced his
blindness and a final hand to hand showdown
commences of Caine's raw brawn vs Todd's
intelligence.
Captain Church played by
Gary Busey
This is the field commander
of Sergeant Todd's unit. When geneticly superior
soldiers are chosen to take over the role Todds
unit has fullfilled faithfully for years he
protests but is ignored. By the movie's end
Church sees just how cruel his commanding officer
Colonel Mekum truly is.
Colonel Mekum played by Jason
Isaacs
This is the man who lives for war and
loves testing out new weapons. When new genetically
engineered soldiers are made available he delights in
showing off how much better they are than the current lot
of battle hardened troops. He arranges a three on one
fight on suspended chains to show how one of the new
soldiers is superior to three of the old ones. When one
of his new genetic troops gets injured he comments on the
cost of feeding and growing the soldier rather than feel
sorrow for the soldier's eye injury. Mekum just dumps
Sergeant Todd's whole unit out as trash on a primitive
planet without a second thought.
Sandra played by Connie Nielsen
Sandra
is a mother of a young son on the primitive planet where
Todd lands. Sandra and her husband become caretakers of
sorts for Sergeant Todd who finds civilian life to be
strange. Todd teaches Sandra's son to conquer his fears
and this saves his life when a posinous sake threatens
the boys life. When troops are dispatched to wipe out
Sandra and her native people, Todd fights back and kills
them all.
