The new film tells the story of four former US CIA agents who go to the Golden Triangle (Southeast Asia) to carry out a secret mission. "The story will have guns, planes and explosions, but it also focuses on the brotherhood between men who prefer actions over words. They are always loyal and will live and die for each other. Even though they do not share feelings, they understand each other very well," Dustin Nguyen shared.

The production team is considering casting Russell Crowe (Gladitor) in one of the four main roles. "Action films have always been a subject that I love. This new project is a challenging and exciting journey in my career."

The work marks Dustin Nguyen's return to collaboration with Hollywood producers after nearly 10 years since he returned to Vietnam to make Dong mau anh hung. Producer ArthurM. Sarkissian is the person who directed Jackie Chan's Rush Hour trilogy. Bebe Pham - director Dustin Nguyen's wife - also joined the project as a production assistant.
