The Dependables (previously known as Pride of Lions[1]) is a 2014 family action film directed by Sidney J. Furie.
Plot
Five heroic young American soldiers in Afghanistan are captured and held hostage by a brutal Taliban warlord. When the US Army is slow to act, a grandmother and four grandfathers - each with a military background - fly to Afghanistan to rescue their boys.
The grandparents journey turns into an epic adventure of explosive action as they are forced to fight a series of battles with the Taliban and are drawn deep into the treacherous Afghan opium trade.
The grandparents are pushed to the limits of their very beings and must draw on their deepest reserves of character. Along the way, they grow stronger, as past wounds are reopened and healed, family bonds are strengthened, and romance blooms.
Ultimately, the grandparents and their grandsons join forces and manage to triumph over all obstacles. At all times, the characters of the grandparents and the grandsons shine through - their love of family, relationships, spirituality, patriotism, strength, humor, wisdom, ingenuity, and pride.[2]
