Born in darkness, sworn to justice...
Directed by Mark A.Z. Dippé, Spawn is the fantasy, action, superhero film based on the Image Comics character of the same name created by Todd McFarlane.
Luke and Jae take on this 1997 cult classic which stars Michael Jai White in the title role - depicting Spawn's origin story.
Covert government assassin Al Simmons (Michael Jai White) is killed after being double-crossed by his boss, Jason Wynn (Martin Sheen). Upon arriving in Hell, Simmons is offered an opportunity to return to Earth if he's willing to lead an evil army. He accepts, and is reincarnated as a "Hellspawn" - a twisted, horribly disfigured version of his former self. However, Spawn serves as a force of good, much to the dismay of the Devil's henchman, a wicked clown (John Leguizamo).
