Synopsis

Ryan, Wade and Emmit attend their first day at high school and they’re pumped … until they meet up with Filkins, a school bully who comes off like a little Hannibal Lecter. Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins’ reign of terror, they seek out some protection by placing an ad in soldier of fortune magazine. Their best response – and the cheapest – comes from Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), a down-on-his luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless – he likes to say “home free” – existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.
