Subscribe FreeAfter military leader Sgt. Nathan West (Jackson) disappears during a "Basic" training exercise in Panama and four of his six men turn up dead, the army wants answers. Col. Bill Styles (Daly) recruits DEA agent Tom Hardy (Travolta) to assist Capt. Julia Osborne (Nielsen) in the interrogation of the two survivors in hopes of discovering where the Sgt. is and how the other men were killed. But the two men have very different versions of the happenings out there in the jungle, and it's up to Hardy and Osborne to figure out which one isn't telling the truth... and why. (Tricia Littrell)
