Genre: Buddy Comedy
Logline:
Three lifelong friends, tired of life's injustices, form a vigilante group. Inspired by the 80s hit show "Soldiers of Fortune," they take a stand for what's right.
Synopsis:
Colt, Sanchez, and Hunter, three friends in their late 30s, bonded as kids over the 80s action series "Soldiers of Fortune." Now leading mundane lives, their world is shaken when the local gangster, Gordo, assaults Hunter and steals from his daughter.
Driven by a desire for revenge, Hunter enlists Colt and Sanchez to form a vigilante group, inspired by their favorite show. However, they're ill-suited for the task: Colt is preoccupied with stalking his ex-wife and her new boyfriend, Sanchez is stuck in a dead-end job and a loveless life, and Hunter, a goofy car mechanic, can't kick his gambling habit.
With the unexpected help of a tech-savvy neighborhood kid and Hunter's daughter, they begin to plot their revenge. As they prepare their awesome heist, they soon discover that Gordo is merely a pawn in the crime family, and they have gotten themselves into something far more dangerous than they anticipated.
