The film is loosely adapted off of the real life, dangerous mission organized by Ballard during his time with the Department of Homeland Security.

Featuring actor Jim Caviezel, better known as playing Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ in 2003, the little film that could became one of the biggest blockbuster hits of the summer, even surpassing Disney’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny during it’s opening weekend.
