在这部歼灭任务动作片中,这部电影讲述的是1970年越南战争期间美国海军陆战队的一支部队的故事。在屠杀村民之后，海军陆战队偷走了村民的黄金，这让越南翻译和导游布鲁斯·勒大为不满。时间到了15年后的今天，这个组织的成员一个接一个地被谋杀。这导致该组织的前负责人，现在是一名高级军官，宣布唯一有能力查明凶手身份的人是澳大利亚人布拉德·库珀少校
The plot concerns a unit of US marines operating in the Vietnam war during 1970, with the movie opening on a raid in a village. After massacring the villagers, the marines steal the villages gold, much to the objection of their Vietnamese translator and guide, (Bruce Le). Skip forward past the credits sequence; it's now 15 years later, and members of the unit are getting murdered one by one. This leads to the former head of the group, now a high ranking military officer, announcing that the only person who is up to the job of finding out the identity of the killer is an Aussie, Major Brad Cooper (Richard Norton).
