“Three men. One arena. No rules.”

The underground fight world is about to erupt — and this time, there’s no tap out.

In Never Back Down V: Legacy of Pain, the gloves are off, and the cage is no longer just a battleground — it’s a crucible for vengeance, redemption, and legacy. The long-dormant Crucible Tournament has been revived — an illegal, globe-spanning deathmatch where fighters clash in brutal, blood-drenched combat for survival, not fame. No weight classes. No time limits. No mercy.

💥 Scott Adkins stars as Ryan Calder, a once-celebrated MMA prodigy whose rise to the top was shattered by scandal, betrayal, and a career-ending exile. Living in the shadows with nothing but guilt and regret, he’s forced back into the spotlight when his younger brother — a rising fighter — is kidnapped and thrown into The Crucible by a ruthless syndicate. To get him back, Calder must do the unthinkable: fight his way to the top of a system designed to break even the strongest.

🦍 Dwayne Johnson enters the franchise as Tyrone Creed, a former black-ops combatant turned underground kingpin — the sadistic architect behind The Crucible. Cold, calculating, and bound by his own brutal code, Creed controls the arena with iron fists and iron rules: “No pity. No second chances. You either earn your legacy… or you bleed for someone else’s.”

🥊 Returning to the franchise, Michael Jai White reprises his iconic role as Case Walker — once a mentor, now a myth. Retired, scarred, but still dangerous, Case is drawn back in by old loyalties and unfinished business. When Calder’s path collides with his, sparks fly — and fists follow. Friend turns rival. Mentor turns challenger. And the cage becomes a crucible for truth.

As alliances fracture, past sins resurface, and blood coats the mat, one question remains: How far would you go to save family, reclaim honor, and write your legacy in scars?

🎬 Never Back Down V: Legacy of Pain is an adrenaline-soaked, emotionally charged return to the roots of underground combat cinema — combining raw martial arts, real stuntwork, and explosive drama. Directed with gritty realism and relentless energy, it’s not just a fight movie — it’s a war for identity, loyalty, and the pain that forges champions.
