Plot
The movie opens with a narrative written by Chief Petty Officer Dave to the son of a friend, discussing heroism, bravery, and a code of honor, as footage of a High-Altitude, Low-Opening (HALO) airborne jump plays.
In the Philippines, a suicide bomber kills the American ambassador, his son, and dozens of children, using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device at a private school. The mastermind, a Chechen terrorist named Abu Shabal, escapes and returns to Russia.
In Costa Rica, two CIA Agents, Walter Ross (Nestor Serrano) and Morales (Roselyn Sánchez) meet to consolidate intelligence about their target, a drug smuggler named Mikhail "Christo" Troykovich. Christo's men kill Ross and capture Morales, bringing her to a riverside compound. Christo orders her to be tortured but kept alive until she tells the smugglers what she knows.
At Coronado, California, the members of Bandito Platoon, SEAL Team Seven are at home. Lieutenant Rorke confides to Chief Dave that his wife is pregnant. The sailors spend time with their families at the beach, then together at the Coronado docks; the next day, they deploy to the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) in the South Pacific, where they are briefed on the events in Costa Rica. The CIA believes that the agents were targeted for investigating a connection between Abu Shabal and Christo. The SEAL team is ordered to extract Morales.
The seven Navy SEALs insert into the jungle via another HALO jump and hold position outside the compound all night. At dawn, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen are inserted down the river from the compound on-board small unit riverine craft and deploy a drone that identifies the guards and a large group of enemies camped down the road. The SEALs approach the compound, hear Morales being tortured, and decide to enter the compound early. Rorke and Weimy, the team sniper, provide cover for the other five, led by Dave, who conduct room-clearing, engaging several enemy guards. One SEAL is shot in the eye, blinding him and knocking him unconscious. The SEALs extract Morales, escaping with her and recovering a cell phone full of the information she had gathered. However, the gunfight alerts the enemy quick reaction force down the road, who drive toward the camp. The SEALs commandeer an enemy truck and exfiltrate. The hot pursuit forces them to revert to a tertiary extraction point, where the SURC boats and SWCCs meet them and shoot up the enemy trucks and soldiers.
Christo and Shabal meet in Ukraine. Christo knows the CIA is watching him and informs Shabal that subordinates will complete their project. Shabal is enraged, but goes to the factory that Christo specified, where bomb vests are being assembled. These use plastic explosives and ceramic ball bearings to work like a claymore mine, can evade metal detectors, and are thin enough to be worn under any clothing without notice.
On the carrier, Senior Chief Petty Officer Miller, the operations officer of the SEAL team, informs Rorke that the SEAL who was shot in the head will survive, without one eye. In addition, the intelligence they recovered confirms that Shabal and Christo were working together. Shabal, an old-school Muslim terrorist, seeks to bring the jihad to the United States, while Christo is not just a drug dealer but a smuggler, with routes and contacts into the United States. Two of the SEALs are sent to Somalia, where an arms transfer involving Shabal is taking place. The remaining four, minus the SEAL who lost his eye, stay in the U.S. in case the terrorists make it in. Miller himself has been reassigned to SEAL Team Four, hunting for Christo somewhere on the oceans. Lieutenant Rorke gives a letter to Dave in case he is killed.
The two SEALs in Somalia confirm the presence of Shabal and sixteen terrorists, and identify his plane. They track the plane to an island off Baja California, where the team assaults. They successfully attack and secure the island, killing eight terrorists. Rorke is nearly killed by a RPG that strikes his vest directly in the chest but does not detonate.
Meanwhile, in the South Pacific, Christo is hiding with his family aboard their yacht, guarded by gunboats and mercenaries. SEAL Team Four identifies the yacht with satellite imaging and deploys several helicopters and gunboats. They quickly kill the guards, capture the yacht, and capture Christo and his family. Chief Miller interrogates Christo. Threatened with permanent separation from his family, Christo reveals his connection with Shabal and his plans to have his sixteen fighters detonate their vests at strategic points throughout the United States, causing a panic and doing economic damage surpassing that following the September 11 attacks. But Christo says he is powerless to stop the attack.
The SEALs are informed that not all of their targets were neutralized and that half, including Shabal, are en route to the United States, via tunnels underneath a milk factory. They are ordered to link up with Mexican Special Forces and neutralize the remaining targets. U.S. Marines relieve the SEALs and enter Mexico, meeting the Mexican Special Forces. The Mexican leader informs the SEALs that the assault will be extremely dangerous, as the smugglers are supported by the well-armed local drug cartel, and that a "Black Hawk Down"-style stalemate would have political consequences.
The SEALs and Mexican forces assault the factory, hiding in dump trucks. The combined forces cordon off the factory while Rorke, the Mexican officer, Chief Dave, and several other SEALs clear most of the factory. The Mexican officer is wounded and the SEALs are nearly killed as the explosive vest of a suicide bomber deploys. As they reach the tunnels, an enemy fighter drops an M67 fragmentation grenade into the room, "cooked" to minimize time to detonation. Only Lieutenant Rorke sees the grenade land. Realizing his team cannot escape the room in time, he dives on the grenade and it detonates, mortally wounding him. Dave pursues the terrorists alone, as the remaining SEAL in the team tends to Rorke. Dave catches up to the terrorists as they try to escape through the tunnels, but shoots seven of them as they flee into the entrance. However, Shabal appears and fires nearly thirty rounds from an AK-47 into Dave, destroying his weapon in addition to critically wounding him. Dave draws his sidearm and kills the eighth suicide bomber as he runs into the tunnel. Shabal approaches Dave and prepares to execute him, but is killed by other SEALs who have arrived.
At home, Rorke is given a military funeral with full honors, while Dave survived his injuries. The SEALs pay their respects, punching the gold SEAL tridents that signify them as SEALs into Rorke's coffin. Dave finishes the letter that he was reading from at the beginning of the movie, telling Lieutenant Rorke's son of the valor of the father he will never know, and ending with a poem by Tecumseh. The film ends with a dedication to every U.S. Navy SEAL killed in action since 9/11, and a list of their names. Cast
