The Guardian
A coast guard adventure from the director of The Fugitive. After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary Rescue Swimmer Ben Randall (Costner), is sent to teach at "A" School: an elite training program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the program upside down with his unorthodox training methods. While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (Kutcher), who is driven to be the best.
