  • He walks where other men fear to tread. Christian Erickson (Dolph Lundgren) heads an elite team that "sweeps" war-ravaged countries for deadly land mines. He is the best in the business--until his 11-year-old son is killed during a rebel attack. Five years later, he is lost to the world in a foreign country, until a beautiful bomb squad expert (Claire Stansfield) enlists his help in her search for the deadly A6 land mine. Together, they uncover a terrorist conspiracy and come face-to-face with an enemy they never imagined. Torn from today's headlines, "Sweepers" is an explosive, action-packed thriller guaranteed to leave an incredible impression.
