The film starts out in Shreveport, LA where DEA Agent Phil Broker (Jason Statham) is undercover in a biker gang. The biker gang is led by Danny T Turie (Chuck Zito) and in reality is a front of a drug operation. The biker gang goes to a bar where they appear to be cooking up Crystal Meth, not knowing Statham’s and his DEA buddies outside ready to take them down. Broker is found out to be a cop, a shootout ensues and during the comtotion Danny T and his son Jo-Jo escape. Broker pursues them, and when he catches them, rather than turn himself in after Broker fires a warning shot into his leg, JoJo decides to go suicide by cop. Disgusted with the way, things went down, Broker quits his job.
Several months later Broker and his daughter Maddy (Izabela Vidovic) have settled into a small town, where Maddy’ s deceased mother grew up. Brooker has set up a contracting business with Teedo (Omar Benson Miller). Maddy is playing at school, where she runs into a local bully Teddy Klum. After pushing Maddy down, Teddy continues to verbally assault Maddy, to which responds by breaking his nose with a three hit combo. Both kids’ parents are called by the school guidance counselor Susan (Rachelle Lefevre). Susan reveals to Brooker that Teddy is a special needs child, while his parents Cassie (Kate Bosworth) & Jimmy (Marcus Hester) can be a piece of work as well. The Sheriff of the town tries to keep, the peace between the parents, however, Cassie isn’t satisfied so she eggs Jimmy on into confronting Brooker. Jimmy does, and Brooker easily drops to the display of town’s people and teachers.
Susan warns Brooker that it’s a small town and people talk, so he needs to be careful. Across town, small town drug dealer Gator (James Franco) confronts some local teens for doing business on his turf. Later that night, Cassie (who happens to be Gator’s sister) goes to his swamp home/meth lab and ask Gator can he scare Brooker by doing what he normally does to people in the town. It is also revealed that Cassie has a drug problem and Gator is her main supplier. The next day while Brooker is horseback riding with Maddy, Gator breaks into their home, steals Maddy’ s cat and one of her stuffed animals. Looking through boxes of Broker’s personnel belongings he discovers that Brooker was in the Special Forces, as well being a former cop. Recognizing the biker jacket that Brooker has on in an undercover, Gator decides to use this to his advantage. Gator is able to figure that out Brooker was the cop who took down Danny T.
A few days pass and things appear to back to normal. Brooker reaches out to Susan in help planning Maddy’ s birthday party, and Maddy makes up with Teddy by inviting him to her birthday party. While pumping gas, Broker is approached by two of Gator’s thugs who he easily beats down. He then goes to confront Jimmy about breaking into his home, which Jimmy denies. Gator reaches out to his ex-girlfriend Sheryl Mott (Winona Ryder) as she knows people looking for Brooker. While Maddy birthday party is a success, Sheryl meets with Cyrus Hanks (Frank Grillo) a killer for hire in a biker gang. Cyrus is a bit cautious since Sheryl doesn’t have the best reputation; however she is able to convince him. Cyrus gets the information to Danny T’s lawyer who passes it on to Danny T, who puts a kill order in place on Brooker.
Brooker begins asking Teedo about Gator, and Teedo informs that Gator is just a small time hood, and the reason why he’s able to get away with things is because he pays the sheriff off. Teedo informs Broker that Gator eats breakfast every day at the same time at a local diner. The next Brooker goes to confront Gator and shakes thing up a bit. Gator is having breakfast with Sheryl and Brooker senses something familiar about her, he is able to take a photo of her and send it back to his ole DEA buddies. Brooker then decides to go Gator’s drug shop to investigate. After setting boobie traps, Brooker finds the missing stuffed animal, as well as their family pet. While playing with the animal, he is knocked out by two of the thugs he beat up at the gas station earlier. After being tortured for a bit, Broker is able to escape and decides that he needs to leave town that night.
He reaches out to Teedo for help, and while the two are closing things up, Sheryl gets a phone call from Cyrus saying it’s going down tonight. Gator is across town playing pool (creating an alibi), and Cyrus forces Sheryl to go the house with them. Teedo sees an attacker from Cyrus’s crew in the barn and able to kill him by stabbing him with a pitch fork. Brooker puts Maddy in the basement and then begins to take out the attackers at his home. Brooker takes out all of the attackers with ease, sans Cyrus. Teedo is shot in the midst of action, and Maddy is grabbed by Cheryl. Brooker & Cyrus fight, and Brooker kills Cyrus by stabbing him. Teedo survives the shooting and Brooker chases off after Sheryl. Gator is now going crazy, since things didn’t go according to plan. He’s highly upset with Sheryl for bring Maddie back to his place. Meanwhile, Cassie, who has decided to go clean, comes to confront Gator. She learns that Gator has Maddie, and attempts to save her, but is shot by Gator accidentally. Brooker shows up, but Gator is able to slip away. A chase ensues all the way to a bridge. When Broker’s car flips over, Gator steps out of his own car and attempts to shoot Brooker, however, Brooker dodges the bullet and then gives Gator a beat down. Brooker is prepared to shoot Gator, but Maddy talks him out of it. As Gator is laying there knocked the hell out from his ass kicking, Maddy and Brooker hug. Sheryl is arrested for her part in the crime while both Teedo and Cassie survive their shootings. Brooker goes to visit Danny T in prison, and Brooker tells a shocked Danny T, that when Danny T gets out, Brooker will be waiting. http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/homefront.html
