It is based on the 2017 children’s novel of the same name by Jocko Willink. It stars Chris Pratt, who also serves as a producer, alongside Jude Hill and Linda Cardellini.

It centers on Marc (Jude Hill), who is experiencing a nightmare middle school experience.

His life changes when his injured uncle Jake, played by Pratt, who is a decorated Navy SEAL, comes to spend the summer with him while recuperating. Jake devises an ambitious play called “Operation Warrior Kid” to help Marc defend himself. In the process, Jake shows Marc what real courage is while facing down his own demons.
