Bookie enforcer Beck (The Rock) Makes a deal to retrieve his boss's son Travis (Sean William Scott) who is looking for an ancient statue in a small South American gold mining town. The town slave driver Hatcher (Christopher Walken) and local rebel leader Mariana (Rosario Dawson) also have great interest in this statue.
