 Charismatic martial arts expert TANNER plays a key role in the development of DR DENNIS WINTERS  revolutionary gaming technology. As part of the research, his lightening fast Kung Fu skills are downloaded directly into the video game characters as part of an exciting but potentially dangerous experiment. One day, Tanner explains to Winters  fourteen-year-old son JOSH, a video game obsessive on how to physically transport humans into the game via molecular deconstruction. An over confident Josh, recalling Tanner s instructions, transports himself into the video game to join his best friend Winston, the son of DR CHAN, the project s financier. As the two boys venture inside the game, Tanner and Winters are startled as they find someone hacking into the system and disabling all safety protocols leaving the boys trapped in a virtual world, at the mercy of computer-generated villains. Knowing the dangers inside the games volatile worlds, Tanner along with DR MAYA LIVINGSTON, who has been working alongside Tanner, go into the game to get the boys out and protect them against the villains lurking within. Once inside the game, Tanner learns the games firewall security has been, breached by MR OVERRIDE, an acquaintance from a distant and dark past. Override intends to sell the technology to his terrorist colleagues but lacks some vital computer data. Override sets an ultimatum; by sunrise, he must have the missing initiator disk or risk the lives of everyone in the game. Tanner will use his greatest strength and martial arts training to fight old and new enemies to save the lives of the boys, Maya and that of his own. Failure could leave them all trapped inside the game...or worse still...erased forever.
