action
The American George Chambers, former world champion in heavyweight boxing, is on a promotional tour of Russia . One evening he is attacked by strangers in his hotel. During the subsequent investigation, the police found a large amount of drugs in his room. Chambers, who was convicted of a drug offense in the US, is arrested. This time as a victim of an intrigue. Because the maximum security prison, in which he is to be held until the beginning of his trial, is under the control of the St. Petersburg mob. Mafia boss Gorga regularly throws prison fights among inmates in the prison, on which large sums of money are wagered, and wants Chambers to take on the undefeated detainee Yuri Boyka. Prison director Markov bluntly makes it clear to Chambers that he can only count on his early release if he agrees to fight. But despite the harassment he is exposed to from prison staff and despite the provocations of Boyka and his gang, Chambers refuses to step into the ring. He finds two allies in his cellmate, the heroin-addicted Englishman Steven Parker, and in Crot, a former elite Red Army soldier who is now on a wheelchair and who is the longest inmate in the catacombs below the prison. Only after Gorga personally informed him about the hopelessness of his situation and even his manager Phil Gold has placed himself on the side of the mob (due to the good prospects of profit and the chance of a lot of quick money), Chambers finally agrees to the duel. But the fight is balanced on both sides, but with clear advantages on the Chambers side. In order not to jeopardize the bets, Parker is forced, due to his addiction to heroin and under threat of beating, to secretly administer a water bottle with anesthetic to the American during a ring break , so that Chambers finally has to go to the boards helplessly. Parker hanged himself in his cell shortly after the fight out of shame and desperation. Gorga has made immense winnings from the fraud and has Phil Gold murdered when he greedily demands a higher share of the revenue. In order to gain his freedom, Chambers is forced to agree to a second fight. Boyka, who was not privy to the move and is beside himself because of the manipulated fight, is also looking forward to revenge. While Chambers had tried to achieve success through classic boxing in the first ring duel, Crot is now also introducing himself to the art of hand-to-hand combat in training and is training boyka's martial arts techniques in order to beat him with his own weapons. Noticeably, he also succeeds in gaining the respect and support of the other inmates after they have shown him solidarity in a sentence suspended by attacking the prison director. The rematch begins and both feel each other and set clear hits, with no real advantage on one side or the other. After a haunting speech by Crot in the ring break, Chambers succeeds in gaining the upper hand in the fight. Boyka is finally defeated in a bloody ring battle when Chambers finally breaks his knee. Gorga makes a fortune fighting. He now arranges for Chambers to be released and even pays him a share of the profits. Chambers threatens to see the gang boss again, with the money he receives, he buys his friend Crot out of prison and goes to see his 18-year-old niece, who knew nothing about her uncle's imprisonment.
