Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)
A hero who doesn't exist must save America from an enemy we never knew we had.
Tough Brooklyn street cop Sam Makin is unwillingly recruited as an assassin for a secret United States organization known as CURE, who fake his death and give him a new identity: Remo Williams.
