Take Point

Fearing a potential third world war, CIA agent Mackenzie trains her sights on a drastic solution and enlists Ahab, the hard-edged captain of the elite mercenary group Black Lizard, to slip into a secret underground bunker 30 meters below the Korean DMZ and neutralize a high-value target. The operation centers on the North Korean Supreme Leader, known as King, around whom the danger of the mission spirals.

From the outset, the team breaches the bunker’s defenses with cold efficiency, overpowering the surrounding forces and taking King and his people hostage. As the group prepares to withdraw after the fierce assault, one of [Ahab]’s men is fatally shot, and despite Logan’s pleas for a medevac, orders come down to move forward instead. The tension tightens as the clock ticks and every choice feels consequential.

Inside the tense confines of the bunker, trust frays and loyalties blur. Ahab is momentarily captured by a teammate who tries to leverage a better deal after a brutal exchange that leaves both Logan and King wounded. A quick, brutal firefight follows, and Logan regains consciousness to kill the traitor. With King’s safety still in the balance, Ahab moves toward a grim, makeshift command center in the bathroom, establishing a fragile contact system that could turn the tide.

Mac’s strategic gambit sharpens the stakes: a rescue hinges on keeping King alive while suppressing the rest of the mission’s casualties. Ahab, now crippled by an artificial right leg, cannot rely on speed alone and orders his team to locate the doctor who accompanied King. Through a motion-activated camera feed, he spots Dr. Yoon Ji-eui and his medical team, who are soon rescued and brought into the loop. Yoon Ji-eui instructs Ahab on how to restore King’s heartbeat, even as the plan encounters a critical flaw: the blood pouch system proves unreliable.

Desperation edges into improvisation as the situation deteriorates. Ahab and Yoon work to transfuse blood and stabilize King, quickly learning that time is their fiercest enemy. The bunker is finally bombed again, leaving Ahab, King, and Yoon to improvise a path to safety while their pursuers close in. Mac’s back-channel communications reveal a devastating choice: backup will arrive, but only King and the top team will be saved, while the rest of Ahab’s unit and the North Korean doctor face elimination.

With the odds stacked against them, the trio fights their way toward a fragile evacuation. Ahab coordinates a last-ditch effort to secure lifesaving blood, locate remaining pouches, and buy precious seconds for a rescue that could clinch a political victory back home. In a high-stakes sprint, a final burst of gunfire echoes through the corridor as a backup assault tears through the threats outside.

In the final, breathless sequence, President President McGregor publicly heralds Ahab as a hero who stood between King and annihilation, reshaping public sentiment in the process. Ahab, King, and Yoon are saved aboard a plane, only to face another peril as it comes under fire. In a last act of courage, Yoon falls from the aircraft, and Ahab leaps after him with a parachute, pulling King to safety first and then cradling Yoon as they hit the water. The trio survive the ordeal, stepping into a fragile calm as they begin to walk away, changed by the choices that kept them alive and the bonds formed in the heat of battle.
