The story revolves around two military veterans who are on a very personal quest to rescue a loved one from a politically unstable region along the Colombia-Venezuela border. Bambi (played by Luke Evans) and Prince (played by Michiel Huisman) head an operation to locate and safely extract Amber Chesborough (played by Jessie Collins), an American scientist.
Moreover, “Echo 3” draws inspiration from the popular Israeli series “When Heroes Fly.” For those who don’t know, “When Heroes Fly” is a 2018 thriller-drama depicting the story of a similar rescue mission in South America.
