Colombia is in chaos, as a five man team of US Navy SEALS embark on a secret mission to ensure that peace talks between the country's government and insurgent guerillas don't erupt into violence, an unforeseen complication threatens all out war. Out of nowhere, the meeting falls under attack and the leaders from both sides are killed. The SEALS have been framed for the crime, leaving them to fight for their lives from behind enemy lines against the Colombian Special Forces (AFEUR). Abandoned by their government and left for dead, the weary soldiers race to uncover the evidence that will prove their innocence while ensuring that the violence is contained. Should the fighting spill over the border, the entire region or both sides could be plunged into a nightmarish inferno of war and death.
The movie contains actual Peruvian folk songs and shows Colombia as an generic Latin country by mixing Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Peruvian culture presented as Colombian. Although the movie is set in Colombia, the movie was completely filmed in Puerto Rico.
The film takes place in Colombia, but was actually shot on location in Puerto Rico. Although Mr. Kennedy appears on the DVD cover, he is not the main character in the film.
As with all WWE films, Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia was constantly advertised on WWE programming, shortly before, and after its release. Mr. Kennedy also frequently made brief appearances to plug the film.
The film was released on January 6, 2009.[1]
