In 2032, one of the most dangerous criminals, Simon Phoenix, awakens in a cryo-prison after a 35-year freeze and decides to take the quiet, violence-free San Angeles by storm.
Unable to cope with Phoenix's violent 1990s habits, officials are looking for a cop from those years who can get the upper hand on the 90s criminal. To do so, they unfreeze Sgt. John Spartan, unjustly sentenced to time in cryo-prison for his latest bout with Phoenix.
