No Retreat, No Surrender

In Sherman Oaks, California, Jason Stillwell dedicates himself to rigorous karate training alongside his father, Tom. Their commitment to martial arts is deeply influenced by Jason's admiration for the legendary Bruce Lee.

A notorious organized crime syndicate seeks to monopolize the martial arts scene, posing a significant threat to Tom and Jason's dojo. When Tom refuses their offer, he is soon subjected to a violent retaliation.

Tom faces a brutal attack from Ivan 'the Russian' Krachinsky, a vicious henchman of the syndicate, resulting in a severe leg injury. This shocking incident devastates the Stillwell family's sense of security.

Seeking revenge, Jason confronts Ivan but finds himself quickly overwhelmed by the skilled martial artist. Despite his anger, Jason heeds his father's advice to refrain from vengeance, highlighting the importance of restraint.

The Stillwell family relocates to Seattle in the aftermath of the attack, seeking a fresh start. Here, Jason develops a strong friendship with R.J. Madison, who helps him adapt to the new environment.

In Seattle, Jason rekindles his romance with his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Riley. During this time, he also meets her brother, Ian, the reigning U.S. National Karate Champion, who becomes an important figure in Jason's life.

As Jason settles into his new life, he encounters local bullies led by Scott and Dean 'Shooting Star' Ramsay. These confrontations lead to frequent clashes, testing Jason's resolve and martial skills.

During Kelly's birthday celebration, Jason suffers a humiliating defeat in front of his peers. This low point pushes him to seek wisdom and solace, leading him to Bruce Lee's gravesite.

A heated argument erupts between Jason and Tom when Jason accuses his father of cowardice for avoiding a confrontation with the crime syndicate. In a moment of anger, Tom destroys some of Jason's prized Bruce Lee memorabilia.

Moved by his emotions and bolstered by R.J.'s support, Jason sets up a training space in a vacant house. He then experiences an extraordinary encounter when the spirit of Bruce Lee guides him through an intense training regimen.

Under Bruce Lee's guidance, Jason rapidly transforms into a skilled martial artist. This newfound strength enables him to protect Tom during an ambush by thugs, reinforcing the value of self-defense in both their lives.

As anticipation builds for the annual kickboxing tournament featuring the Seattle Sidekicks and Manhattan Maulers, Jason, Tom, and R.J. train diligently. Their excitement is soon overshadowed by the looming threat of the crime syndicate.

During the tournament, the crime syndicate challenges the fighters, claiming they cannot defeat Ivan. The tensions build as Ivan showcases his power, defeating some of Jason's allies, including Dean and Frank.

When Ivan traps Ian in a stranglehold, Kelly bravely attempts to intervene using a stool. However, her courageous move leads to her being overpowered by Ivan, sparking outrage among the spectators.

Fueled by anger and a desire for justice, Jason enters the ring to confront Ivan. Harnessing all his training and the spirit of Bruce Lee, he defeats Ivan, earning respect from his peers and dismantling the syndicate's influence.
