Plot Synopsis
Inspired by a controversial best-selling non-fiction novel, KILLER ELITE is an epic action thriller in which retired Special Forces soldier Danny (Jason Statham), is forced out of his self-imposed exile to reassemble his team, including Hunter (Robert De Niro), for a no-holds-barred confrontation with Spike (Clive Owen), who is protecting a renegade cell of soldier/assassins from another of the most feared and respected military units ever assembled, the SAS. Danny is lured away from his tranquil life and new-found love Anne,(Yvonne Strahovski) to attempt an almost impossible feat of retribution and personal salvation. With Hunter in dire jeopardy, he needs to destroy a rogue cell of soldiers before their actions can create a global political meltdown. Spike, however, is intent on protecting the rogue cell for a covert group of elite ex-SAS soldiers, even if he has to destroy Danny and Hunter. The protagonists will stop at nothing in the pursuit of their own code of honour in a whirlwind journey of action that covers the globe from Australia to Paris, Wales, London, Dubai and Oman.
