The mission quickly becomes far more dangerous than expected as the group encounters armed enemies, masked fighters, gangsters, supernatural threats, and other bizarre obstacles. What begins as a military rescue turns into a wild adventure filled with comedy, fantasy, martial arts, and unexpected encounters.
