The film was shot on location in Rio's poorest neighborhoods.

Col. Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) is a 30-year Marine veteran: a decorated officer with combat experience in Vietnam, Beirut and Desert Storm -- a patriot, a hero.

Hays Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones), a comrade-in-arms who owes his life to Childers.
