An
explosive tale of double cross and revenge, 'The Losers' centers upon the
members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the
Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team—Clay (Morgan), Jensen
(Evans), Roque (Elba), Pooch (Short) and Cougar (Jaenada)—find themselves the
target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known
only as Max (Patric). Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score
when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha (Saldana), a beautiful operative
with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while
tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in
a new high-tech global war.
The script is loosely based on the first story arc from "The Losers" comic,
collectively called "Ante Up". The story appeared in issues 1-6 of the DC
Vertigo comic, written by Andy Diggle and drawn by artist Jock.
