Triple Frontier 2019

Santiago “Pope” Garcia, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, operates as a private military adviser battling drug crime in Colombia. During his mission, he encounters an informant, Yovanna, played by Adria Arjona, who seeks his assistance in smuggling herself and her brother out in exchange for vital information about the drug lord Lorea, depicted by Reynaldo Gallegos. Yovanna reveals that Lorea is hiding in a safe house deep within the jungle, alongside his substantial cash reserves.

To execute this risky operation, Pope returns to the States to enlist the help of his former Delta Force comrades. He assembles a diverse team that includes Tom “Redfly” Davis, played by Ben Affleck, a savvy Realtor; William “Ironhead” Miller, a motivational speaker brought to life by Charlie Hunnam; his brother Ben Miller, a tough mixed martial arts fighter played by Garrett Hedlund; and Francisco “Catfish” Morales, a skilled ex-pilot enacted by Pedro Pascal. After much persuasion from Pope, the group decides to seize the opportunity to steal the money for their personal gain.

The plan is meticulously crafted to avoid bloodshed. They intend to strike while Lorea’s family attends church. However, upon breaching the safe house, they realize Lorea and the expected riches are conspicuously absent. It dawns on Pope that the cash is ingeniously hidden within the walls of the house. As the crew begins to collect the unexpected treasure, Redfly, driven by greed, insists they push their luck, ignoring the time constraints they face.

Just as they make off with a staggering sum, Lorea surprises them, injuring Ironhead before Pope retaliates, taking down the villain. As Ironhead receives treatment for his wound, they spot approaching guards and, in a frantic flurry, eliminate them before setting the house ablaze and fleeing. They eventually regroup with Yovanna and her brother, now carrying a staggering $250 million, and prepare to escape South America using a private Mi-8MTV-1 helicopter arranged by Ironhead’s old acquaintance.

As they ascend into the sky, doubts rise. Catfish shares his reservations about the chopper’s capacity, especially as they have to navigate over the Andes Mountains. Despite his concerns, Redfly’s obsession with their newfound wealth pressures them onward. Soon, however, their journey takes a dire turn when the helicopter becomes overloaded. The gearbox falters, resulting in a catastrophic descent. In a scramble for survival, Catfish successfully convinces the team to jettison the money to regain control, leading to a crash landing in a remote cocaine farm.

Recovering from the wreck and nursing minor injuries, they attempt to claim the discarded money bag but encounter suspicion from local villagers, mistaking them for members of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Tensions escalate dangerously, with Redfly ultimately forced to resort to lethal measures to secure their prize. To gain the trust of the villagers, Pope and Redfly offer them a portion of the bounty, facilitating a tenuous agreement to continue their risky journey.

As they trek down the mountainside, vengeance strikes when local survivors seek retribution, resulting in a deadly skirmish that claims Redfly’s life. Heartbroken yet determined, Pope urges the crew to honor both Redfly’s sacrifice and their mission. The burden of their actions weighs heavily upon them, leading to a realization of their moral erosion. In an attempt to avoid further bloodshed, they discard much of the cash, keeping only what they can safely carry.

Faced with a final confrontation, they flee with $5 million, but not without a high-octane chase through the village. In the end, they reach the shore, where a lawyer waits to distribute their shares evenly. Guilt-ridden, they unanimously agree to allocate their portions to Redfly’s family. With their paths diverging, Pope sets his sights on Australia to reunite with Yovanna, armed with coordinates leading to the hidden cash left behind in Peru—a reminder of their harrowing journey.
