Agent John Keller (Daniel Bernhardt) goes undercover into the tough prison known as Fuego Penal to find out about the corpses of prisoners disappearing without a trace. There he gets involved in a dangerous tournament arranged by a man named Justin Caesar (Ivan Ivanov), where the prisoners are forced to fight to death. The tournament has only one rule: There are no rules.
Though Daniel Bernhardt stars in all Bloodsport films except the first, his character changes from Alex Cardo in Bloodsport III to John Keller in this film.
The prison sequences were shot at a real prison in Bulgaria and actual prisoners were extras in the scenes. Although the film was shot in Bulgaria, Bloodsport 4 is set in the USA. This not only makes it the only Bloodsport movie set there, but the only Bloodsport movie to not be set where it was shot.
