Former Special Forces soldier Mason Pettits (John Cena) is bored to death with his job at a mediocre law firm and his day-to-day life as a family man. When his old military buddy and boss of a shady private security firm (Christian Slater) offers him a job as a bodyguard for award-winning journalist Claire Wellington (Alison Brie), he doesn't hesitate for a second and accepts the assignment. The assignment is to protect Claire on her trip to the South American country of Paldonia, where she is to be the first journalist ever to meet the notorious dictator Juan Arturo Venegas (Juan Pablo Raba) for an interview. But the interview is unexpectedly interrupted by a military coup, and Claire and her bodyguard must flee into the jungle with a crazed dictator....
