Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks) tisztességes polgár és jó családapa, de fia egy nap rájön, hogy napközben bérgyilkosként dolgozik. Hamarosan Rooney (Paul Newman) is rájön, hogy a fiú szemtanúja volt egy gyilkosságnak. Bérgyilkosok indulnak apa és fia után, ők azonban nem adják meg magukat könnyen. Segítségül hívják Al Capone egyik emberét, de minden és mindenki ellenük fordul. És a nyomukba ered Maguire (Jude Law), a veszedelmes gyilkos.
A bérgyilkosok világában játszódó vígjátékban egy csapat fiatal, menő és fegyelmezetlen bérgyilkos rákényszerít egy dokumentumfilm-forgatócsoportot, hogy kövessék őket és vegyék fel, hogy bizonyíthassák: ők azok, akik kinyírták mindenidők leghírhedtebb zsoldosát, Günthert. De Günther mindig egy lépéssel előttük jár, és mindent megtesz azért, hogy pokollá tegye életüket. Gyilkos versenyfutás veszi kezdetét: ölsz, vagy megölnek; a vadászok nagyon gyorsan prédává válhatnak.
Two strangers, both at the end of their rope, suddenly meet in the middle of the unpredictable waters of Lake Michigan.
David Charleston, once a world renowned journalist, now lives alone maintaining the Thunder Rock lighthouse in Lake Michigan. He doesn't cash his paychecks and has no contact other than the monthly inspector's visit. When alone, he imagines conversations with those who died when a 19th century packet ship with some 60 passengers sank. He imagines their lives, their problems, their fears and their hopes. In one of these conversations, he recalls his own efforts in the 1930s when he desperately tried to convince first his editors, and later the public, of the dangers of fascism and the inevitability of war. Few would listen. One of the passengers, a spinster, tells her story of seeking independence from a world dominated by men. There's also the case of a doctor who is banished for using unacceptable methods. David has given up on life, but the imaginary passengers give him hope for the future.

Five years ago the world was shocked to hear of the sinking of one of the finest and fastest ore boats on the Great Lakes. During one of the worst storms in the memory of sailors this great boat, the Vega, became suddenly lost and almost without warning, was driven ashore on the rocks near the Fox Islands in Northern Lake Michigan.
Mackinac Island, Michigan, is a tiny island in the center of the Great Lakes. Besides being a world favorite "Horse Drawn" and "Victorian Era" summer destination, the island holds another treasure few have ever seen: its wild, magical and beautiful winters. The 72-minute film Ice Bridge follows islanders' unique and quirky lifestyle throughout an entire year while tracing the formation of the spectacular phenomenon known as the "ice bridge" (a three-mile span of ice that allows islanders to cross to the mainland).
