Beck ([[DwayneJohnson Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]]) is a BountyHunter who wants to quit the business and open a restaurant, but his boss Billy sends him on one last assignment: Go down to TheAmazon and bring his wayward son Travis (Seann William Scott) back to Los Angeles. So Beck heads down to the Amazon, where he meets eccentric Irish airplane pilot Declan (Ewen Bremner) and finds a totalitarian regime run by Hatcher (ChristopherWalken), who double-crosses Beck shortly after he finds Travis.
