WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Whilst on assignment in war-torn Europe, a group of Navy SEALS discover a haul of stolen Nazi gold at the bottom of a lake in Bosnia, and resolve to retrieve it and help the impoverished locals whose lives have been destroyed by conflict. However, they are pursued by enemy forces who of course want the gold for themselves, and so the race is on to get a hold of it before anything bad happens…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A story of selfless valour is told with punchy and testosterone-fuelled action that should serve as an explosive start to the New Year.
