What happens

The Hunt for Eagle One is a 2006 direct-to-video war film directed by Brian Clyde and produced by Roger Corman, starring Mark Dacascos, Theresa Randle, Ricardo Cepeda, Rutger Hauer, Joe Suba, and Zach McGowan. Set during Operation Enduring Freedom in the Philippines, the film follows a team of U.S. Marines who attempt to rescue a captured U.S. Marine Corps captain and an Armed Forces of the Philippines major, while tracking down a group of al-Qaeda terrorists intent on launching biological weapons. The sequel, The Hunt for Eagle One: Crash Point, featuring many of the same production crew and cast, came out on DVD some months later. It is the first installment in The Hunt for Eagle One film series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
