Storyline:
He walked away from the cage... But trouble followed him to paradise.
In Road House, Dalton, a troubled former UFC fighter, is looking to leave his violent past behind. He drifts into the Florida Keys and takes a seemingly low-key job as a bouncer at a rough-and-tumble roadhouse bar.
But this sun-soaked escape hides dark undercurrents.
As tensions rise, Dalton discovers that the bar—and the entire town—is under the grip of corrupt power and brutal enforcers. When fists start flying and lives are threatened, he’s forced to unleash the fighter within, taking justice into his own hands.
Slick, muscular, and packed with brutal action, Road House blends modern combat realism with the rebellious, barroom-brawl spirit of the original.
