Synopsis

Commando is a story about a retired special agent named John Matrix who led an elite unit and has left the armed forces to live in a secluded mountain home with his daughter Jenny.

However, Matrix is forced out of retirement when his daughter is kidnapped by a band of thugs intent on revenge. Unbeknownst to Matrix, the members of his former unit are being killed one by one.

Even though Matrix's friend General Franklin Kirby gives Matrix armed guards, attackers manage to kidnap Matrix and Jenny. Matrix learns that a warlord called Arius wishes to lead a military coup in his home country. If Matrix refuses to help him out, Jenny will die.
