Plot – Bob Lee Swagger is a bitter man who has left his job as a Marine after a terrible betrayal. He has retired to live in a remote mountain village where he's approached by Colonel Isaac Johnson, a retired man too. He tells him the country desperately needs him again because someone is organizing an attempt against the United States President. Only his skills and experience can thwart the plan, so Swagger reluctantly agrees to serve his country one last time, but he doesn't know the mission is actually a government conspiracy. When Swagger realizes he's been duped again, it's too late.
