Each man brings a unique set of skills to the mission, and together they are offered a substantial reward of $10,000 for the successful rescue of Mrs. Grant.
The team embarks on a dangerous journey across the harsh desert landscape to infiltrate Raza's heavily guarded fortress and carry out their mission.
