Description: “The Old Guard,” released in 2020, follows the story of Andromache “Andy,” Booker, Joe, and Nicky, a group of centuries-old warriors possessing regenerative healing abilities. Using their vast experience, they dedicate themselves to helping others. However, they break their own rule of never working for the same people twice when they are hired by former CIA operative James Copley to rescue kidnapped children in South Sudan. During the mission, they are ambushed and killed, only to regenerate and defeat their attackers. They soon realize Copley orchestrated the ambush and recorded their regeneration for his own purposes.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, U.S. Marine Nile Freeman survives a fatal injury, awakening unharmed. She shares a disturbing dream with the other immortals, alerting them to her existence. Andy locates Nile before military personnel can transfer her to Germany for further testing. Andy brings Nile to France, where she meets the rest of the team. They share their history, including the tragic fate of Quynh, Andy’s first comrade, who was cast into the sea in an iron maiden and continues to drown endlessly. The group also reveals that their immortality is not permanent, as it eventually fades without warning, as seen with a former immortal named Lykon.
The team faces another ambush, this time by operatives sent by pharmaceutical executive Steven Merrick. Joe and Nicky are captured, while Booker is left for dead. After regenerating, Booker joins Andy, who discovers she has lost her immortality when her wounds fail to heal. Nile temporarily separates from the group to reconnect with her family as they prepare for their next move.”
