Plot
The Losers, an elite black-ops team of United States Special Forces operatives, includes team leader Clay, demo expert Roque, heavy weapon specialist Pooch, hacker Jensen, and sniper Cougar. They are sent to Bolivia on a search-and-destroy mission on a compound run by a drug lord.
While painting a target for an upcoming air strike, the Losers spot trafficked children in the compound and try to call off the attack, but their superior, codenamed Max, ignores their pleas. Out of options, the Losers enter the compound, successfully rescuing the children and killing the drug lord.
As a helicopter arrives to pick them up, Max, convinced that they know too much, orders it to be destroyed, unaware that they decided to rescue the children first. The Losers watch as a missile destroys the helicopter. Knowing that the attack was meant to kill them, they fake their deaths and become stranded in Bolivia, lacking the funds and paperwork necessary to go home.
