Tue, Feb 8, 2000 04:28 PM PST
Lucy Chang (Jeanne Chinn,
"Lethal Weapon 4" ), a fearless martial arts expert for the elite Hong Kong
Special Forces, reluctantly teams with a renegade U.S. Marshal to stop the
release of a virus that halts the aging process and threatens the future of the
planet, in "Code Name: Phoenix," a presentation of "Blockbuster Video's
Shockwave Cinema" airing FRIDAY, MARCH 3 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) on
UPN.
In the year 2020, where global peace has prevailed, a sinister new
threat to world stability is exposed with a genetically engineered virus that
can stop the human aging process. Faced with potential worldwide anarchy when
the masses clamor for the drug, Special Agent Lucy Chang must go undercover to
track the drug's illegal marketer who has conspired with a beauty products
magnate to auction the virus' rights to international bidders and ensure
worldwide chaos.
Chang is publicly denounced as a fugitive by a traitor
in her organization and is immediately sought by U.S. Marshal Jake Randall
(Jeffrey Meek, "Mortal Kombat: Conquest").
Convincing Randall that a planet-wide destabilization threat exists if the virus
is made public, the duo joins forces and, with the combination of her remarkable
martial arts prowess and his high-tech weaponry, battle to expose the plot and
destroy the virus supply.
Jeanne Chinn stars as Lucy Chang, Jeffrey Meek
as Jake Randall, Jonathan Scarfe as Kenny Baker, Denis Akiyama as Dr. Jiang Fong
and Christina Cox as Aurora.
"Code Name: Phoenix" was executive produced
and directed by Jeff Freilich. It was written by Freilich and James Cappe. The
film is a Magnum Production in association with Paramount Network Television and
is distributed by Paramount Network Television.
The movie carries a
TV-PG-SV parental guidance.
