English Summary:

Legionnaire is a 1998 American drama war film directed by Peter MacDonald and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as a 1920s boxer who wins a fight after having been hired by gangsters to lose it, then flees to join the French Foreign Legion. The cast includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Daniel Caltagirone, Nicholas Farrell and Steven Berkoff. The film was filmed in Tangier and Ouarzazate, Morocco.

Alain Lefèvre (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a French boxer in 1920s Marseille, France. His brother has asked for him to throw a fight so both can live with the money. Lucien Galgani (Jim Carter), the mobster who forced him to do so, requests he do it in the second round. Galgani's girlfriend Katrina (Ana Sofrenović) is Alain's ex-fiancée, whom he left standing at the altar. But Katrina forgives Alain, and the two hatch a plan to run off to America together.

Alain does not take a dive in the fight, and instead defeats his opponent. Just as the escape plan is about to succeed, Alain's brother is killed, and Katrina is captured by Galgani's men. Alain shoots and kills Galgani's brother; desperately needing a new escape plan, he signs up for the French Foreign Legion and is shipped to North Africa to help defend Morocco against a native Berber rebellion of Rif warriors, led by Abd el-Krim.

Hungarian Summary:

Alain önérzetes bokszolóként nem volt hajlandó lefeküdni a meccseket bundázó marseille-i maffiafőnöknek. Sőt egy csetepatéban lelövi annak fiát. Menekülnie kell, beáll az idegenlégióba. Egy isten háta mögötti erődbe kerül, amelyet a környékbeli arab törzsek előszeretettel támadnak. Bajtársiasság, árulás, szerelem - a végén Alain marad csak hírnöknek.
