The Guardian is about two rescue swimmers, one the old man and the other the young kid. After an accident where the old man loses his entire chopper crew through no fault of his, he goes to teach some young kids entering the coast guard rescue swimmers program to unwind. He meets the a bunch of youngsters and teaches them the real rescue swimmers life while befriending a youngster that shows great potential. Mainly about personal relationships, this film has some good special effects, but is not meant to be a film about effects. The seasoned actors and good directing keep your attention through the vast majority of the film. The only question is what does the future hold for the stars? Well worth the watch.
