Assault on Death Mountain 1999

Mike McBride and Roy Brown, two former Navy SEALs, and their associate Hunter Wiley, a former DEA agent, have renounced their careers as public servants to become private contractors, nicknamed the Shadow Warriors. McBride is haunted by unexplained and traumatic flashbacks.

While browsing an FBI most wanted list kept by the team, McBride begins to piece together the dark pattern behind his memories and identifies Dr. Sarkisian, a scientist and war criminal nicknamed the “Death Merchant,” who was connected to the deaths of several of his brothers-in-arms. McBride insists that Sarkisian faked his death and changed his appearance through plastic surgery. Dr. Sarkisian is the figure he believes responsible for the past horrors, and the suspicion pulls the team back into a dangerous game of shadow warfare.

To verify the lead, Wiley and Brown turn to their longtime friend Andy Powers, who remains a government employee but is drawn back into the hunt by the promise of a hefty reward should Sarkisian still be alive. Yet the trio soon learns that McBride has gone off on his own path, leaving the group to reassess their mission and loyalties.

McBride goes on a solo mission and launches a ruthless assault on a Middle Eastern camp controlled by the fledgling terrorist Hameed Jamal, whom the FBI has tied to Reynolds/Sarkisian. In the heat of the confrontation, McBride is captured by Jamal, Sarkisian, and their enforcer Vlassi. From their capture, he overhears a chilling plan: the two crime lords have forged an alliance to exact vengeance on the United States, and within 72 hours they intend to launch a deadly gas attack on Seattle, using missiles that will be sent from a hidden base in Western Canada.

Sarkisian injects McBride with a poison before leaving him behind, forcing the Shadow Warriors to rethink their approach. The rest of the team races to rescue Jamal and recover the antidote that could save McBride’s life. With time running out, the reunited Shadow Warriors mount a final assault on Sarkisian’s compound to derail the missile launch and secure the antidote, risking everything to prevent a catastrophic strike on the city they once swore to protect.
