After losing his crew during a rescue mission in Alaska's unpredictable and frigid waters, Ben Randall (Costner) is reassigned to that of instructor at the United States Coast Guard training facility. There he meets high-school swimming hotshot, and legend-in-his-own-mind, Jake Fischer (Kutcher), who is determined to break all of Randall's long-standing records. It is during this 18-week program that instructor and student develop a relationship of sorts, and ultimately help each other in fighting the personal demons that keep them buoyed to the past. The Guardian is dedicated to those in the United States Coast Guard. (Jack Kelley)
