| The Guardian stars Kevin Costner as Ben Randall, a legendary Rescue Swimmer who lost his crew in a fatal crash, and Ashton Kutcher, as Jake Fischer, a young, cocky swim champ who is driven to be the best. After the loss of his team, Randall 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 meets Jake Fischer. 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. |
