“Deception is their most dangerous weapon.”

A hurricane is bearing down on a US Army base on the edge of the Panama Canal when a Ranger training patrol goes into the jungle and does not come back whole. Two recruits are pulled out, each with a different story about their drill sergeant, Nathan West (Samuel L. Jackson). John McTiernan sends in Tom Hardy (John Travolta), a former Ranger turned DEA agent, and Captain Julie Osborne (Connie Nielsen) must decide whether to trust him.
