What happens

Extreme Ops is a 2002 action thriller film directed by Christian Duguay and written by Michael Zaidan, Timothy Scott Bogart, and Mark Mullin. It stars Devon Sawa, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Rupert Graves, and Rufus Sewell. The film's plot revolves around a television commercial director and three extreme sports enthusiasts, who embark on their trip to the Alps for seasonal practice and stunt filming. They unknowingly film at the same location that serves as a hideout for Serbia's most wanted war criminal, and subsequently employ their fast-paced extreme sports abilities to escape the treacherous mountain and save their lives. Extreme Ops was released on November 27, 2002. Upon release, the film was a commercial failure, grossing $10.9 million against a $40 million production budget, and was panned by critics. It was the final wide release film of Sawa, who would later shift to direct-to-video titles for seventeen years until 2019. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
