Plot In an oil refinery in Iraq, owned by Chinese firm Unicorp gets attacked by mercenaries led by Owen Paddock, ex-special forces soldier "Dragon" Luo Feng leads his private security company in evacuating the civilian employees in a convoy consisting of eleven buses along the Highway of Death to the safety of the Green Zone. Before entering the Highway of Death, Feng talks to his daughter, Mei about protecting her, but she resents him because he wasn't to be there by his wife's side during her death due to a top secret mission. Although Feng ensures Mei, he was protecting his country and family, she still says that he wasn't there and she will never forgive him for it. Meanwhile, needing money to fix a well in a rural village, former US Marine Chris Van Horne reluctantly joins his mercenary brother, Henry in attacking the convoy, who claims they are tracking down a man responsible for attacking them years earlier. The mercenaries create a massive sandstorm by using a rocket truck and use it to cover their attack in which they steal two of the eleven buses. After Feng's convoy fends them off and clears the sandstorm, Feng discovers that five civilians of his have been kidnapped from Bus 8, including Professor Chang and her son.
