Synopsis:
Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts,
NEVER BACK DOWN is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid who
leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart. Jake Tyler,
played by Sean Faris, is the new kid in town with a troubled
past.. Making an attempt to fit in the new city, at the invitation
of a flirtatious classmate, Baja (Amber Heard) Jake goes to
a party where he is unwittingly pulled into a fight with a
bully named Ryan McDonald (Cam Gigandet). While he is defeated
and humiliated in the fight, a classmate introduces himself
to Jake and tells him about the sport known as Mixed Marshall
Arts (MMA). He sees a star in Jake and asks that he meet with
his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (BLOOD DIAMOND,
IN AMERICA). It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is
not street fighting, but rather an art form he wants to master..
For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory. His
decision will not just settle a score; it will define who
he is.
