Extreme Ops is a 2002 action thriller film directed by Christian Duguay, written by Michael Zaidan, Timothy Scott Bogart, and Mark Mullin, and starring Devon Sawa, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Rupert Graves, and Rufus Sewell. A commercial director and three extreme sports enthusiasts took their trip to a distant mountain retreat for seasonal practice and stunt filming. They stumble upon an intricate group of terrorists plotting an attack against them. The terrorists soon found out that the enthusiasts had been watched by the group and rush swiftly to kill the witnesses. Now racing for their... lives against helicopters and expert assassins, the enthusiasts must put their quick extreme sports skills to the test in order to escape the mountain. The film was originally titled The Extremists by Duguay for its main plot concerning both "extreme" sports and terrorists, but the title was changed to avoid the obvious negative connotations in a terror-obsessed post-9/11 society. The film performed very poorly worldwide, especially in Europe and North America where the American characters were seen as inauthentic caricatures. Extreme Ops received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics.
