米軍の狙撃手ベケットは国防総省からの特命を受け、パナマの麻薬組織に君臨するボス、オチョアとその援助の恩恵を得ている反政府分子アルバレス将軍を暗殺すべく、若きエリート軍人リチャードとともにパナマの密林に潜入する。だが、ベケットがオチョアの狙撃に成功する一方、リチャードは経験不足もあってアルバレス暗殺に失敗し、作戦は困難を極めるという展開に。ベケットは今度こそアルバレスを暗殺しようと挑む。

Based on a true story, The Heroes follows one of the most extraordinary and heroic exploits of World War II. After months of rigorous training in the north of Australia, a team of 14 men, most barely out of their teens, set sail from Cairns on board a leaky old fishing boat called 'The Krait'. Their mission, code-named Operation Jaywick, became a tense voyage through thousands of kilometres of Japanese held territory to launch a daring attack on Singapore Harbour. The raid is a success but within sight of safety they encounter a Japanese destroyer, and all prepare to die rather than be taken prisoner.
