Plot Summary

In the midst of a brutal Nigerian civil war, elite Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis) and his team are sent on a high-stakes mission: extract Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), an American doctor working at a remote medical station in the war-torn jungle.

When Waters and his team arrive, Dr. Kendricks refuses to leave without her patients, a group of refugees, including women and children who will face certain death if left behind. Initially reluctant, Waters is forced to make a decision that will define his moral compass—abandon the innocent or defy orders and escort them to safety.

As they embark on a perilous journey through the jungle, they are relentlessly hunted by rebel forces, leading to intense firefights, desperate survival tactics, and heartbreaking sacrifices. What starts as a simple extraction turns into a mission of redemption, forcing Waters and his team to confront the true cost of war and the meaning of humanity.
