Harmon Blakelock (John Macurdy II - Nate and the Colonel (2003)) international mercenary and consultant for high level military operations is recruited to solve a seemingly innocent "security problem"... As he joins his old friend Dr. Mason Perry (Ed Shifres - Portrait of a Suspect (2000)) he discovers that thirty years ago a top secret non-governmental organization had cloned some of history's most influential and charismatic leaders to spearhead the on-going cold war. However, now as adults, the cold war is over and these conquerors are highly educated, trained in combat, supremely capable, and prepared to fulfill their destinies. Genghis Khan (Conan Lee -Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)) is the first to discover his true pedigree and become the natural leader of this formidable group. With the help of Alexander the Great (Jack Maxwell - Charmed (1998)) and the Pharaoh Ramses (Charles Cooper - _String Theory_), Khan escapes from solitary confinement and together they take the first steps in executing their diabolical plan. As Blakelock begins to understand the true extent of this experiment, romantic tensions build between Blakelock, Helen of Troy (Suzanne Turner - Icebreaker (2000)) and Joan of Arc (Laurie Okin - Deadly Games (1995)). Khan's attempt to recruit the remaining "project" members, Peter (Benjamin Hoppe -Friendship's Field (1995))and Shaka Zulu (Giacomo Knox - _Malcolm & Eddie_)qv)) results in dramatic confrontation and the demise of innocents.
