Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe is a 2011 American television movie directed by Jeffrey Donovan, starring Bruce Campbell, Kiele Sanchez, and RonReaco Lee. It is a spin-off prequel to the USA Network's popular show, Burn Notice. The movie is set in 2005 and follows the story of Sam Axe, a former Navy SEAL, who finds himself in a desperate situation when he is sent to a politically unstable country on a mission to train the local military forces.

The movie begins with Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) enjoying his life in Miami Beach, where he is working as a military advisor for a wealthy businessman. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he is ordered to report to a remote island in Colombia, where he is to train the local military forces. The island is controlled by a notorious rebel leader named Comandante Veracruz, who is known for his brutality and his hatred towards Americans.

At first, Sam is hesitant to undertake the mission, but he relents when his friend and CIA agent, Andrew Strong (RonReaco Lee), persuades him that it's a good opportunity to get back into the military's good graces. Sam is also promised a lot of money for his services, which he plans to use to start a new life in the States.

On the island, Sam quickly realizes that the situation is worse than he thought. The local military forces are not only poorly trained, but they are also undisciplined and corrupt. The rebel leader, Veracruz (Pedro Pascal), is also more brutal than he had imagined. Sam begins to question the CIA's motives for the mission and his involvement in it.

As the days go by, Sam befriends a group of doctors who are working in a local clinic. One of the doctors, Amanda (Kiele Sanchez), catches his eye, and the two of them quickly develop feelings for each other. Sam begins to see the island and its people in a different light and starts to realize that he may have made a grave mistake by agreeing to undertake the mission.

Things take an unexpected turn when Sam and his team are ambushed by Veracruz's men. Andrew is killed in the ambush, and Sam and his team are captured. Veracruz accuses them of being spies and plans to kill them. Sam must use all of his military training and fighting skills to escape and try to save himself and the doctors from the island's chaos.

The movie is a thrilling ride, full of suspense, action, and drama. Bruce Campbell's performance as Sam Axe is excellent, and he brings humor, charm, and depth to the character. The supporting cast, including Kiele Sanchez and RonReaco Lee, is equally strong.

Overall, Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe is an entertaining and engaging movie that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It is a must-watch for fans of the Burn Notice series, as it provides valuable insight into Sam Axe's backstory and his motivations. The movie also stands on its own as a thrilling action-adventure with a heart-warming romantic twist.
