American Hero: An Unforgettable FMV Experience Reimagined

American Hero is a long-lost outrageous and unforgettable FMV (Full Motion Video) game that immerses players in an over-the-top Hollywood action movie straight out of the '90s. This game brings a wild, mile-a-minute spree of espionage, daring stunts, and weapon-wielding villains that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

You take on the role of Jack, a handsome, washed-up former intelligence officer drawn out of retirement from his life as a strip club patron for one last mission. His goal? To stop the sinister virologist Krueger, who plans to unleash a mind-controlling virus on the unsuspecting citizens of Los Angeles. With everyone out to eliminate Jack as he closes in on Krueger, he must rely on his wits, strength, and undeniable charisma to survive long enough to thwart Krueger's nefarious plot. Your spontaneous decisions throughout the game will either assist or hinder Jack as he works to find and protect the only scientist who possesses the cure to Krueger's deadly bioweapon.
