Con motivo del cumpleaños de su hijo Roarke (Joseph Mazello), sus padres Gail (Streep) y Tom (Strathairn), cuyo matrimonio no pasa por un buen momento, deciden organizar una excursión familiar a las montañas, lejos de la civilización. El plan incluye un emocionante descenso de rafting por un río.

Stranger to the world of gaming, a meek and mild teen is transported into the digital space of a vintage video game, where he must find a way to rescue his trapped older brothers and return home before the console is unplugged and donated.

After their mission is overrun by North Vietnamese forces, a missionary couple, their Australian guide, a South Vietnamese major, a brothel owner and her daughter all get in the mission's battered school bus and try to make their way to safety. Soon after leaving, however, their bus is commandeered by three US Marines trying to get back to their base at De Nang. To reach their destination, they must fight through most of the North Vietnamese army.
