Ashton Kutcher crops up again, although this time in human form, in this movie tribute to the coastguard.
Wrestling with the loss of his crew members, he throws himself into teaching, turning the scheme upside down with his unorthodox training methods.
While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer (Kutcher), who is driven to be the best. During training, Randall helps mould Jake's character, combining his raw talent with the heart and dedication required of a rescue swimmer.
Upon graduation, Jake follows Randall to Kodiak, Alaska, where they face the inherent dangers of the Bering Sea.
In his initial solo rescue, Jake learns firsthand from Randall, the true meaning of heroism and sacrifice, echoing the swimmer's motto, "So Others May Live".
