Determined not to spend their entire high-school career being tormented by the local bully, three freshmen place an ad in
Soldier of Fortune magazine seeking an experienced combat veteran to protect them in this
comedy produced by
Judd Apatow, penned by
Seth Rogen and
Kristofor Brown, and starring
Owen Wilson. It's their first day of high school, and best friends
Ryan (
Troy Gentile),
Wade (
Nate Hartley), and
Emmit (
David Dorfman) are determined to make the most out of the next four years. Trouble soon arises, however, in the form of sadistic hallway hooligan
Filkins (
Alex Frost) -- an unrelenting bully who makes it his mission to ensure that these three friends suffer all the way through to their senior year. Desperate to find protection by any means possible,
Ryan,
Wade, and
Emmit place an ad in
Soldier of Fortune magazine. While most of the responses they get come from men who are either too experienced or too expensive, one down-on-his-luck mercenary named
Drillbit Taylor (
Wilson) is right in their price range and eager to help out.
Drillbit may be homeless (or, as he likes to call it, "home free"), but he's more than willing to offer these three brave souls the mental and physical training needed to fend off
Filkins and get on with their lives. Trouble is,
Drillbit isn't quite the fearless freelance soldier he has made himself out to be.
