In the future, all US Marshals are independent bounty hunters, including two-fisted Jake Randall (Jeffrey Meek). Those Marshals have been offered an enormous amount of money if they can track down and neutralize Lucy Chang (Jeanne Chinn), a martial arts expert formerly of the Hong Kong police, but now a hunted murderer. When he catches up with Lucy, Randall is told that she was framed by conspirators in cahoots with the evil Dr. Fong (Dennis Akayama), a marketer of illegal drugs who has created a virus to halt the aging process--and who is willing to sell his creation to the highest bidder, regardless of the virus' deadly side effects! Convinced that Lucy is telling the truth, Randall agrees to help her clear her name and thwart Dr. Fong, and as a result becomes a fugitive himself. Produced for the UPN network, the made-for-TV Code Name Phoenix premiered March 3, 2000.
