I watched Albert Pyun's "Nemesis" a couple of nights ago.

By about the halfway point I had completely lost the plot. Cyborgs are trying to take over the world, so a cop is assigned to recover a micro chip that can stop it (I think?) aided by his ex-girlfriend's consciousness, which has been downloaded onto a tablet computer. Also, Tim Thomerson and Brion James and a bunch of Asian dudes try to kill him repeatedly, blah blah blah.

After a while I gave up trying to follow the story and just watched stuff explode.

It probably didn't help that the lead character was played by French muscle dude Olivier Gruner, whose accent was even more impenetrable than Jean Claude Van Damme's.

I'm going to bring up a dead horse that's probably been floogged to death already..but what the heck: 

The Phantom Menance.

Who is the main character? What is the story?  What is the plot? Aside from some light saber scence and blasters blasting.. whawt happens?  Can anyone today tell me? i've been trying to figure it out for 22 years!

It's an episodic plot with an ensemble cast, as such there's no single main character, & the plot can't be summed up with a simple complication/climax/resolution graph.

The story, in a paragraph: Two wizards are sent to solve a dispute, but things go badly, so badly they must escape. While hiding out, they discover a boy who could grow up to be a powerful wizard. They try to recruit him for their order, but still must try to solve the dispute that brought them there in the first place.
