Never Back Down

Never Back Down is a film about Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) who moves to a new town, and is beat up by the neighborhood bullies. A veteran fighter Roquoa (Djimon Hounsou) mentors and trains Jake to be ready for a fight against the local martial arts champion, Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet).
