In Hard Target 2, Adkins plays Wes Baylor, a discredited former mixed martial arts fighter who is haunted by a tragic accident in the ring. Lured to Thailand with the promise of a large sum of money for one last fight, Wes soon finds himself tricked into falling prey in a deadly manhunt orchestrated by a ruthless billionaire named Aldrich (played by Robert Knepper).<\/div>\n

Dropped into the jungle with a head start and a small survival kit, Wes must outsmart and fight an elite group of hunters who have paid for the thrill of tracking and killing a human target. As he navigates the harsh terrain and avoids the sophisticated hunters, Wes turns the tables, using his combat skills and instincts to fight back.<\/div>\n
