Plot

In the heart of war-scarred Angola, the echoes of "Sweepers" reverberate, a relentless and adrenaline-fueled thriller ripped straight from today's headlines. At the center of the chaos is Christian Erickson, an esteemed figure in the Humanitarian Order of Chivalry, leading his team of 'sweepers' on a dangerous mission. Their task? To clear land mines scattered around rural hamlets, where innocent lives are lost daily in the explosions. Tragedy hits close to home when Christian's 11-year-old son, Johnny, falls victim to a land mine during a deadly rebel attack. Meanwhile, in the United States, a new terror unfolds. A devastating attack at a US senator's home involves a highly advanced A-6 land-mine smuggled from the bloody soils of Angola. Brought into the fold is bomb squad specialist Michelle Flynn, whose life is personally stained by the attack. She embarks on a secretive mission to Angola to recover an A-6 mine, hoping to expose the political machinations behind its creation. In Angola, Michelle aligns with army mine sweepers, Jack Trask and Ray Gunn. However, their mission takes a lethal turn when the retrieved mine detonates their helicopter, leaving Michelle alone and stranded. Witnessing a drunken Christian bravely confront local tyrant Yager - who uses land mines to safeguard his diamond mining and smuggling empire - she turns to him for help. Christian and Michelle navigate through a field of death, retrieving an A-6 land mine from the very place where Christian's son met his tragic end. As they delve deeper into the source of these deadly mines, they discover a sinister plot to transport a trainload of them to the US. The duo brace for an explosive confrontation with Yager's henchmen, a life-or-death struggle through diamond mines and treacherous jungle. In the end, they unravel the true villain behind this lethal scheme, revealing a face even more surprising than they could have anticipated.
