Sensing a crisis in Yemen, the U.S. government sends Col. Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) to remove the U.S. ambassador (Ben Kingsley) and his family from the country. Childers succeeds, but in the process ends up killing 80 civilians, and now faces a court martial. Fearing a sentence that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life, Childers looks to Col. Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones) to defend him in court.

A hero should never have to stand alone.
