Universal Soldier (1992) is a science fiction action film directed by Roland Emmerich, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. The movie centers on a secret U.S. military project that revives and transforms dead soldiers into genetically enhanced super-soldiers known as “Universal Soldiers” or “UniSols.”

The story begins in Vietnam, where two American soldiers, Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren), die in a violent confrontation after Scott goes rogue, murdering civilians and his own men.

Decades later, both are reanimated as part of the UniSol program, which erases their memories and turns them into emotionless killing machines designed for high-risk military operations.

However, when Luc starts to regain his memories and humanity, he rebels against the program and goes on the run with a reporter, Veronica Roberts (Ally Walker), who uncovers the government’s secret project. Andrew, who remains psychotic and vengeful, is sent to track down Luc, leading to a series of intense and brutal confrontations.

Universal Soldier is known for its high-octane action sequences, featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, explosive shootouts, and high-tech military settings. The film explores themes of free will, dehumanization, and the ethical implications of using advanced technology in warfare. It became a cult hit and spawned several sequels, cementing Van Damme and Lundgren as iconic action stars of the era.
