While filming was made in Puerto Rico, the setting of the movie was in Jolo, Sulu in southern Philippines where a band of militiamen supposedly attacked the passengers of an airplane that made an emergency landing in the area. Butler played the principal role of pilot who had to fight the armed group and rescue his passengers out of the rebel-infested island.
But Padilla said the way the film was narrated was problematic, noting that while Jolo has had a violent past as cradle for terrorists and militias, such was no longer the case. At present, however, portions of Jolo remain to be a hotspot for terror groups ISIS and the mercenary Abu Sayyaf Group, such that some legislators called for the“Reputasyon po ng Inang Bayan ang pinaguusapan dito, Ginoong Pangulo.
Aside from Butler, the film also stars Mike Colter, Tony Goldwyn, and Filipino-American actor and filmmaker Ariel Felix.
