Gale Force (2002)

When Sam Garrett, a maverick Los Angeles police officer with a flair for bending the rules, finds himself indefinitely suspended, he is presented with an unconventional proposition. His boss, willing to negotiate his reinstatement, offers him a chance to participate in a new reality show, "Treasure Hunt." The game offers the tantalizing grand prize of $10 million, buried on a tropical island and waiting to be unearthed by the most cunning contestant. Though initially hesitant, Garrett, realizing his limited options, agrees to join the game. As the selected contestants embark on their journey, they are unaware of the deceptive web spun around them by the show's host, the unscrupulous studio executive, Stuart McMahon. Motivated by a relentless pursuit of soaring ratings, McMahon withholds crucial information about the game, adding a layer of unexpected danger and intrigue. His sinister plot involves a secret pact with Jared, the leader of a hired sniper team assigned to guard the treasure. Their mission? To prevent the contestants from discovering the hidden fortune, even if it means killing to achieve their goal. But the treacherous human elements are not the only challenges that the contestants must face. Nature itself conspires to heighten the stakes, with a ferocious category 5 hurricane barreling towards the island. As the storm closes in and the deadly game unfolds, the contestants must navigate a lethal maze of deception, greed, and impending disaster. In the thrilling rollercoaster that is "Gale Force," the question isn't just who will claim the $10 million prize, but who will survive to walk away at all. The storm is coming, and with it, a tempest of suspense, action, and heart-stopping adventure.
