Set in the west-side of Los Angeles fight world, a world inhabited by bouncers, cagefighters, cops and special forces types, Redbelt, is the story of Mike Terry (Chiwetel
Ejiofor), a Jiu-Jitsu teacher who has avoided the prize fighting circuit, choosing instead to
pursue an honorable life by operating a self-defense studio with a samurai's code.
Terry and his wife Sondra (Alice Braga), struggle to keep the business running to make
ends meet. An accident on a dark, rainy night at the Academy between an off duty officer (Max Martini) and a distraught lawyer (Emily Mortimer) puts in motion a series of events that will change Terry's life dramatically introducing him to a world of promoters (Ricky Jay, Joe Mantegna) and movie star Chet Frank (Tim Allen). Faced with this, in order to pay off his debts and regain his honor, Terry must step into the ring for the first time in his life. |
