Storyline

Set in the future, a group of terrorists with an android leader storm a hospital when the President's daughter is inside, taking her hostage. To find a way of freeing her, the police decide to consult the architect who designed the building, but he's currently in jail for some crime, and the punishment of the future is to be frozen solid for one's sentence. The cops accidentally thaw out the wrong guy, a football player who decides to keep the mistake a secret and help the police in exchange for his freedom. Will he be able to defeat the terrorists and rescue the hostages, despite not knowing the first thing about architecture?

User Reviews

* OUT OF FIVE

Die Hard meets The Terminator in this cheaply made actioner which features Kove as a the only man who thwart a terrorist cyborg as well as save the president's daughter in this very bad actioner. Inept and chintzy looking, Shadowchaser is about as bad as they come. Even Kove seems annoyed with the production. Followed by two sequels
