The Survivors

A wealthy, arrogant businessman, Sonny Paluso, is hired by a South American drug lord to kill a renegade former associate. He travels to the jungle with his brother-in-law, Noyce, a gun enthusiast, but they are soon hunted by their employer's hitmen after Sonny attempts to double-cross them. Forced to rely on their wits and Noyce's questionable survival skills, they must navigate the treacherous environment and evade their pursuers, leading to a series of chaotic and dangerous encounters.
