This feature film takes the first five episodes of the series and completely revamps the storyline. Team leader Duke is now a fresh recruit who must assemble a Joe team (who sport Sigma suits, the latest in body armor) and battle the forces of Cobra. "First Strike" also posits the curious idea that the two previous direct-to-DVD Joe releases (2003's "Spy Troops: The Movie" and 2004's "Valor vs. Venom") happened some 20 years before the events that take place in this movie.
