The action-thriller stars Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe (Unhinged, Gladiator) and Liam Hemsworth (Independence Day: Resurgence, The Hunger Games).
It follows Reaper (Crowe), an Air Force drone pilot supporting a Delta Force special ops mission in the Philippines. After the mission goes terribly wrong, he has 48 hours to remedy what has devolved into a wild rescue operation. The Tier-One team, led by Cpt. Sugar (Milo Ventimiglia ) and Sgt. Abel (Luke Hemsworth) is re-deployed to return and retrieve their captured man and the asset.
Joined by Kinney (Liam Hemsworth), a green Air Force JTAC officer, who is thrust into the middle of a high-stakes extraction. But the ground mission suddenly turns upside down and becomes a full-scale battle when the team is discovered by the enemy. With no weapons and no communication other than the drone above, Reaper becomes the young operator’s only ticket out of the Land of Bad.
