Synopsis:

Macho Lawrence 'Larry' Hammer and frailer Dean Mazzoli initially rival as Marines recruits, but become buddies in instructor NCO Bosco's merciless training class. The friends date two girls, but both love Barbara, who chooses to marry Larry, as ideal father for her pre-teen son. After graduation as officers, they choose opposite oceans for further training. However Sadam Husein's invasion of Kuwait gets both mobilized in the same unit, with Bosco, who gets captured and tortured. Dean learns Barbara has left adulterer Larry. They mount a rescue together, taking risks even on their own side.

In this action film, Hammer (Rob Lowe) and Dean (Gale Hanson) meet and become fast friends at a Navy training school. When the impulsive Hammer marries the woman (Tracy Griffith) Dean is pining for, the two go their separate ways. However, when the United States suspects Iraq of possessing the capability of launching biological warfare, the two friends are brought together again for one last mission.

The story of two American underwater commandos in the Persian Gulf who attempt to destroy a site in Iraq targeting American ships and prevent an attack focused on its oil-rich neighbors.
