A high-octane action-adventure built around a dangerous military mission during the Mexican Revolution, driven by combat and pursuit rather than character depth.

In 1912, during the Mexican Revolution, the border between Texas and Mexico is on flames due to savage raids by Mexican bandits who call themselves freedom fighters, so the US government entrusts to General Pershing the capture of General Héctor Córdoba, the most notorious among them.
