When Private Joe Armstrong (Dudikoff, Quicksand, Gale Force) single-handedly foils a hijack attempt on an arms supply convoy in the Philippines and rescues the commander's daughter from the hijackers, he has no explanation for the dazzling martial arts skills that he displays in the process. But the incident is only the beginning in a series of events that slowly unravel the secrets of Armstrong's childhood - a childhood that he cannot remember, but has nonetheless imbued him with ancient secrets of honour and survival that he will never forget. And as he comes face to face with his past, he must also confront the most skilled practitioner of Ninjitsu, the Black Star Ninja. The final winner-takes-all battle will pit the Master of the Orient with a new generation of fighter ... the American Ninja.
