The Film
Logline
A decorated Special Forces soldier struggling to find purpose after Afghanistan is drawn into the violent world of a Mexican cartel — putting him on a collision course with the brother-in-arms he once fought beside.
Sicario meets Triple Frontier. Grounded, high-stakes action driven by loyalty, betrayal and moral conflict.
BATTLE BORN follows decorated Special Forces soldier SGT. Travis Griffey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the violent underworld of Mexico's Jalisco cartel.
After a devastating combat loss, Griffey and his brothers-in-arms return home struggling to find their place in civilian life. Haunted by PTSD and watching his world collapse, he accepts an offer from aging cartel patriarch Juan Rivas: use his skills, provide for his family, regain the purpose war took from him. As the missions escalate, Griffey becomes what he once fought against.
His past collides with his present when former brother-in-arms Ryan Jones — now a U.S. Senator and CIA operative — is sent to hunt him down. Their confrontation forces fractured loyalties and buried betrayals to the surface, in a story about brotherhood, consequence, and whether the wars soldiers carry home ever truly end.
Commercial positioning
Military action + cartel crime + thriller combines established, marketable audiences.
Brotherhood turned betrayal gives the action personal stakes and broad emotional appeal.
A veteran drawn into cartel operations connects the story to war, organized crime and life after service.
A dual-timeline structure creates mystery and momentum as brothers-in-arms move toward opposite sides of a kill order.
Sicario meets Triple Frontier: grounded, high-stakes, morally loaded action.
The Opportunity

*No theatrical revenue is assumed in the conservative case. The moderate case models a limited four-wall Nevada release only. We do not promise theatrical. A competitive SVOD license fee is the single most aggressive assumption in this model; comparable independent action films have secured meaningful streaming acquisitions, but this outcome is not guaranteed and should not be treated as contracted revenue.
Illustrative investor outcomes
Scenario A · Conservative
0.86×
$85,556 per $100,000 position
Investors recover 86% of capital. Producers receive nothing.
Scenario B · Moderate
1.72×
$172,361 per $100,000 position
Waterfall: 120% recoupment, then 50/50.
The two numbers that matter
All figures are producer's net receipts, already net of distributor fees and expenses. The Nevada transferable credit is modeled at a conservative sale price of ~$0.90 per dollar. No return is guaranteed; investors may lose some or all of their capital.
