Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
The disappearance of a military leader and the
death of four of his men leads two investigators to wade through a morass of
deceptions and half-truths in search of the facts in this thriller. Sgt.
Nathan West (Samuel
L. Jackson) is the leader of an elite team of U.S. Army Special Forces
operatives known as the Army Rangers; West is known as a highly effective
officer, but one with a short temper and aggressive attitude who is not well
liked by his soldiers. During a seemingly routine training exercise in Panama,
a hurricane sweeps in, and four of West's six men are dead, while West himself
seems to have vanished. Eager to get the facts behind what happened, Col. Bill
Styles (Tim Daly)
assigns Capt. Julia Osborne (Connie
Nielsen) to investigate. However, Osborne is having a hard time getting
the two survivors to talk, so Styles brings in Tom Hardy (John
Travolta), a former Army Ranger who served under West and became a
first-class interrogator; Hardy later became a DEA agent, but left law
enforcement after allegations of corruption. Hardy interviews Dunbar (Brian
Van Holt), who claims that the four soldiers had been murdered, and West
was killed in retaliation. Kendall (Giovanni
Ribisi), the other survivor (whose father is a powerful officer) has a
very different story of how the five men turned up dead, and it's up to Hardy
and Osborne to determine who is telling the truth — or if anyone is saying
exactly what happened.
