THE GUARDIAN
SYNOPSIS
After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary
Rescue Swimmer, Ben Randall (KEVIN COSTNER), is
sent to teach at "A" School, an elite training
program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers.
Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he
throws himself into teaching, turning the program
upside down with his unorthodox training methods.
While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim
champ, Jake Fischer (ASHTON KUTCHER), who is
driven to be the best. During training, Randall helps
mold Jake’s character, combining his raw talent
with the heart and dedication required of a Rescue
Swimmer.
Upon graduation, Jake follows Randall to Kodiak,
Alaska, where they face the inherent dangers of the
Bering Sea. In his initial solo rescue, Jake learns
firsthand from Randall, the true meaning of heroism
and sacrifice, echoing the Swimmer’s motto..."So
Others May Live!" -- © Touchstone Pictures
