1989: Officer Ryan is fatally shot while filming reality show "In the Name of Justice", as he lays dying he sees Isabelle watching over him.

Colt explains: they are combatants chosen from throughout time, randomly pitted against each other, fighting to the death with period weapons and armor for viewers' entertainment.

Isabelle confides in Ryan that she hopes he can stop Fischer, who controls society with the drug EQM and "Fight Another Day".

Meeting Fischer, Ryan learns his death inspired Fight Another Day which, combined with EQM, led to drastically lower crime rates.

Still outmatched, a final effort sees him ready the scalpel he has hidden from the earlier assassination plot.

Sabotage causes a power cut, interrupting the Colt vs Ryan final, aiding their plan to reach the time machine.

Verus, feeling cheated, joins the revolt and kills Colt allowing Ryan and Isabelle to run for the time machine.

Cal ignores Fischer's order to detonate Ryan's explosive, enraptured by the daring escape, declaring "This is the best season ever!".

Ryan presents her sister's bracelet, convincing Isabelle that her plan to defeat Fischer has succeeded, and they drive away into the night.

[3] Writer/Director James Mark's influence for the film came from his background in stunt work and love of action movies, with the time travel aspect being used to allow for the inclusion of as many different fighters as possible onscreen.
