Rogue
Director: M.J. Bassett
Actors: Megan Fox, Philip Winchester, Greg Kriek
PlotA group of mercenaries led by battle-hardened operative Samantha O'Hara is hired for a high-stakes mission in Africa to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a governor from a gang of human traffickers. The team infiltrates the trafficker's stronghold, but the extraction goes awry when their escape helicopter is shot down, leaving them stranded in the middle of a remote wilderness. With limited supplies and no means of communication, Samantha's team is forced to navigate through hostile territory, evading both the traffickers who are hot on their trail and the dangers posed by the unforgiving natural environment.
As the team ventures deeper into the wilderness, they find themselves being hunted by a relentless and unexpected foe, exacerbating the tension and danger of their mission. Cut off from the outside world and facing diminishing odds of survival, they are pushed to their limits both physically and mentally. Close-quarters combat with the traffickers, as well as a fierce struggle against their new predator, incites inter-team conflict and tests their resilience. The mission transforms into a desperate fight for survival, revealing the strengths and vulnerabilities of each mercenary as they grapple with the immediate peril and their own personal demons.
