on-screen for the first time since their Oscar-nominated
performances in Pulp Fiction, John
Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson co-star in
the gripping thriller BASIC, from
acclaimed action-director John McTiernan (Die
Hard, The Hunt For Red October). |

| Travolta
stars as Tom Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned
DEA agent, who is drawn into an ever-widening
mystery surrounding the disappearance of a
legendary army drill instructor Sgt. Nathan
West (Jackson), and several of his cadets,
during a training exercise that might have
resulted in murder. |
|
| With
the help of the volatile Capt. Julia Osborne
(Nielsen) Hardy has to piece together the
truth and with everyone telling a different
story it appears that nothing is as it seems.
|
|
| There
are degrees of truth but the truth is far
from BASIC. |
