In the near future, street gangs have their own city zones where cops can't go. Two tough cops are sent undercover in one of them to investigate an illegal cure for AIDS. But they must first fight in a deathmatch, and the match is fixed.

In the heart of L.A lies the Hellzone.. a lawless haven where police are restricted and crime is legal.

It's a federally sanctioned oasis of gambling , prostitution, drugs and violence. When the city's most feared gang lord , the Swordsman takes refuge there , two ambitious cops , risk it all to go where no cop has ever dared. Inside are the worst horrors imaginable .. the Death ring , a brutal area where blood is shed for money , and a psychotic criminal mastermind called Drexel, who holds the key to a sadistic plan to distribute a counterfeit AIDS vaccine.
