What happens
Inferno (alternatively known as Desert Heat) is a 1999 American action thriller film directed by John G. Avildsen, and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Danny Trejo, Pat Morita, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, and David "Shark" Fralick. It was the last film directed by Avildsen before his death in 2017. The plot revolves around depressed military veteran Eddie Lomax (Van Damme), who wanders the desert looking for a reason to die. An incident with a few thugs from a nearby town, who steal Eddie's motorbike and beat him almost to death, sets him on a path of revenge. The film is loosely based on the 1961 Japanese samurai film Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
