After losing his crew in a fatal crash, legendary Rescue Swimmer, Ben Randall (Kevin Costner), is sent to teach at "A" School, an elite training program for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers.

Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the program upside down with his unorthodox training methods. While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher), who is driven to be the best. During training, Randall helps mold Jake's character, combining his raw talent with the heart and dedication required of a Rescue Swimmer.

From Director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), The Guardian is an edge-of-your-seat, adrenaline-fuelled, action adventure starring double Academy Award® Winner Kevin Costner and one of Hollywood's hottest young properties, Ashton Kutcher. The fast-paced drama charts the heroic acts of the US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers and the gruelling training cadets go through to enter this elite division of the US Military. It takes a tough character to be hoisted into a freezing, stormy sea from a helicopter to save victims and The Guardian demonstrates the extreme lengths these teams of dedicated rescuers go to on a daily basis.

From dramatic ocean rescues, to genuinely touching human narrative, The Guardian is an action-packed, emotional ride through a truly testing career. Packed with spectacular special effects taking you to the heart of the punishing routines of the trainees and to the centre of the storm, The Guardian also comes complete with an ocean of extras that dive deeper into the heroic acts of the Rescue Swimmers. From a dramatic alternative ending, to insightful deleted scenes, this DVD is sure to make waves when it comes out on DVD on 19th February 2007.
