Directed by Bruce Malmuth (Hard To Kill; Nighthawks) and starring Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables 2; Red Scorpion), David Soul (Starsky & Hutch) and Renee Coleman (A League Of Their Own; After School), Pentathlon is released on DVD & Blu-Ray on 30th July 2012 from Anchor Bay Entertainment.

After winning Olympic Gold in Seoul, East German pentathlete Eric Brogar (Lundgren) takes the opportunity to escape his past and the demands of his tyrannical coach, Heinrich Mueller (Soul) and flees to the freedom of the West with the help of a beautiful American athlete.

Several years later, Mueller has given up coaching and turned his dubious talents to neo-Nazi terrorism and a series of attacks on German government officials. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Brogar has slipped into an alcoholic depression and ekes out a meagre living working at a local diner. Still angered by Brogar's betrayal and driven by a need for revenge, the psychotic Mueller first targets Brogar's father before flying to LA to finish off his former star athlete once and for all.

In an attempt to get his life back on track, Brogar has begun training once more, this time at the woodland retreat of his former girlfriend. But the arrival of Mueller, who has since teamed up with Brogar's arch rival Jurgen Reinhardt and a group of neo-Nazi sympathizers in the US, means Brogar will soon have to turn his skills to something more than winning medals.
