The A-Team is a 2010 American action film based on the television series created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell. Directed by Joe Carnahan, the film stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton Jackson, and Sharlto Copley as "The A-Team", former U.S. Army Rangers imprisoned for a crime they did not commit, who escape and set out to clear their names. The film was produced by Stephen J. Cannell,[5] Ridley Scott and Tony Scott.[6][7]
The film had been in development since the mid 1990s, having gone through a number of writers and story ideas, and being put on hold a number of times. Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews from critics[8] and performed slightly below expectations at the box office.[2]
John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) is held captive in Mexico by two corrupt Mexican police officers working for the renegade General Javier Tuco (Yul Vazquez). Hannibal escapes and sets out to rescue Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Bradley Cooper), who is held captive at Tuco's ranch. Hannibal saves Face after enlisting fellow Ranger Bosco Albert (B.A.) Baracus (Quinton Jackson), driving to the rescue in B.A.'s modified GMC Vandura van.[9] Pursued by Tuco, they stop at a nearby Army Hospital to recruit the services of eccentric pilot H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley). They flee in a medical helicopter, chased by Tuco, in a dogfight that leaves B.A. with a fear of flying. The battle ends when they lure Tuco's helicopter into American airspace, where it is destroyed by a U.S. F-22, all according to Hannibal's plan.
"8 years . . . and 80 successful missions later", the team is a highly regarded elite Special Forces unit stationed in Iraq. Hannibal is contacted by CIA Special Activities Division Agent Lynch (Patrick Wilson), who reveals that Iraqi insurgents possess U.S. Treasury plates that could be used to counterfeit U.S. currency. Lynch wants Hannibal's team to retrieve the plates and over $1 billion in cash that is due to be moved out of Baghdad in a heavily protected armored convoy. Face's former lover Defense Criminal Investigative Service Capt. Charissa Sosa (Jessica Biel) arrives and warns him to stay away from the plates. Against the advice of his Commanding Officer, General Russell Morrison (Gerald McRaney), Hannibal agrees to steal the plates in an unofficial black ops mission. The mission is successful; when the team returns to base, however, the money, and Morrison's vehicle are destroyed by Brock Pike (Brian Bloom) and his men from the private security firm Black Forest. Without Morrison, the only proof that they were authorized to act, the team is sentenced to ten years in prison and dishonorably discharged.
Six months later, Lynch, who "comes from a long line of Lynches", visits Hannibal in prison and tells him that Pike may be trying to sell the plates with the help of an Arab backer. Hannibal, who has been tracking Pike on his own, makes a deal with Lynch: full reinstatement and clean records for his team in return for the plates. Lynch agrees, and Hannibal escapes prison by appearing to be dead and barely escapes being cremated. Hannibal then breaks out Face, B.A., and Murdock. In a slight hitch, B.A. has turned to pacifism and refuses to kill or hurt anyone. By now, Lt. Sosa, who holds a grudge against the team for disregarding her warning and getting her demoted, is hot on the team's trail. Under the belief they are working with Pike, she tries to head them off before Murdock is freed. The team manages to escape in a military Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft. The plane is destroyed by two remote-piloted drone fighters, but the team escapes by "flying a tank." The team tracks Pike and launches an offensive to reclaim the plates and kidnap Pike's backer. They learn that the backer is actually General Morrison. He worked with Lynch and Pike to steal the plates but then teamed up with Pike to double-cross Lynch and fake his death. When Lynch learns the team has Morrison, he orders an air strike against them. The A-Team flees, but General Morrison dies.
Face hatches the next plan. Knowing Lynch is tapping her phone, Hannibal arranges to meet still-Lt. Sosa onboard a container ship at the Los Angeles docks, saying he will hand over Morrison and the plates in exchange for his freedom. Face then calls Sosa on a drop phone he planted on her at the train station, and conspires a different plan with her. It all unfolds according to plan until Pike, who is now working with Lynch, blows up the container ship and chases Face to near death until Bosco gives up his pacifist ways and kills Pike, saving Face. Hannibal leads Lynch into a container with Murdock, who, wearing a covered bullet proof helmet, is portraying Morrison. After a fight between Lynch and Hannibal, Lynch shoots at Murdock’s head, believing that he is killing Morrison, the only witness that Hannibal has to clear his name. Lynch is tricked into admitting that he stole the plates, and is subsequently arrested by Sosa. The plan works: Pike is killed, Lynch is taken into custody, and the plates are recovered. The CIA comes and claims custody of Lynch, getting him off the hook. Despite their success, the team is arrested for escaping from prison, even though they recovered the stolen plates and cleared their names. Sosa is reinstated to Captain, but she promises to do all she can to set them free and kisses Face as he is led into a prison van. In the van, Face opens his mouth and reveals the key, given to him by Sosa through the kiss. "I love it when a plan comes together!" he crows as his teammates laugh.
The film closes with narration (provided by Corey Burton) reminiscent of the original television series' opening credits, stating that the team now live as soldiers of fortune.[10]
In the post-credits scene, Face walks into the tanning bed in prison, asking the man emerging how to protect his face. The man (Dirk Benedict) replies: "You don't mess with it, kid." Next, Murdock receives electro-shock therapy, while two doctors look on. As he seems to be enjoying it, one of them (Dwight Schultz) says "This guy, Murdock, is nuts." In the extended cut on DVD and Blu-ray Disc these scenes are put back into the film.
In a post-credits scene, original series actors Dirk Benedict (Face) and Dwight Schultz (Murdock) have cameos with their film equivalents Bradley Cooper and Sharlto Copley. Benedict plays Face's fellow tanning bed client, credited as "Pensacola Prisoner Milt," and Schultz plays one of two neurologists observing Murdock during a shock-therapy session.
The entire film was shot at various locations in Canada including Kamloops, Cache Creek and Ashcroft,[14] British Columbia, with much of the studio works being done at Mammoth Studios.[12][15][16][17] Other footage was included as well, such as aerial shots of Cologne (though falsely referred to as Frankfurt in the movie).[18] Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake is also featured in the German escape scene where a number of base buildings and landmarks are clearly visible, as is the false canopy painted under the CF-188s.[citation needed] The Royal Canadian Air Force is the only one to have the false canopy painted on the bottom.[citation needed] American markings were digitally added later.[citation needed]
The film had been in development since the mid 1990s, going through a number of writers and story ideas, and being put on hold a number of times. Producer Stephen J. Cannell hoped to update the setting, perhaps using the first Gulf War as part of the backstory.[19][20] John Singleton was initially assigned to direct, but in October 2008 he pulled out of the project.[21] When Singleton was still attached to the project as director, Ice Cube was approached for the role of B.A. Baracus.[22]
In June 2009, Variety revealed that Liam Neeson was in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to star as Hannibal Smith,[23] and Bradley Cooper announced to MTV News[24] that he would be playing the role of Templeton Peck after he first denied the rumors saying that he was not involved and insisted that he had not seen any script.[25]
The production budget for the film was $110 million,[3][4] but the cost came in at $100 million after tax credits.[2]
On August 26, 2009, MMAjunkie.com reported that mixed martial arts fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson would play the role of B.A. Baracus in the upcoming film,[26] but this was later denied by a representative for Jackson.[27] In September 2009, The Vancouver Sun suggested that Jackson has been attached to the role and was postponing his fight at UFC 107 with Rashad Evans due to filming for The A-Team. Filming started in Vancouver in late 2009, and Jackson's involvement was then confirmed.[28][29]
On September 15, 2009, Variety confirmed the casting of Neeson, Cooper and Jackson. They additionally reported that Sharlto Copley and Jessica Biel were in final negotiations to join the cast. Copley would be playing the role of H.M. Murdock and Biel would be playing the ex-lover of Face who is a disillusioned and ruthless Army officer in charge of pursuing the team.[30] 20th Century Fox later confirmed that Copley and Biel were cast in the film.[12]
On September 30, 2009, Liam Neeson and the rest of the cast were seen filming scenes in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, as shooting got under way.[31] The first official pictures of Neeson, Cooper, Copley and Jackson in character were soon released, including one which features the iconic van in the background.[17]
On October 30, 2009, Dwight Schultz confirmed that he had filmed a cameo scene for the movie.[32] This news was followed on the November 23, 2009, that Dirk Benedict would also make a cameo.[33] Schultz and Benedict played H.M. Murdock and Templeton "Faceman" Peck respectively in the original series.
On December 1, 2009, it was announced that Alan Silvestri would compose the film score.[34] Silvestri recorded his score with a 90-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox.[35]

The film received mixed reviews.[8] Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a normalized score of 47% based on 193 reviews (Top Critics: 46%; RT Community: 75%), with an average score of 5.3/10.[45] The critical consensus is: For better and for worse, Joe Carnahan's big-screen version of The A-Team captures the superficial, noisy spirit of the TV series.[45] Review aggregate Metacritic calculated a weighted average score of 47% based on 37 reviews.[8] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly says of the film: "It's trash so compacted it glows". He gives the film a grade of B+.[46]
Richard Corliss of Time magazine calls the film "the best in a mediocre line-up of summer-action flicks". He goes on to say the film lacks "a coherent plot and complex characterization", though he does note that these qualities "are irrelevant to the genre".[47] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine calls the film, "big, loud, ludicrous and edited into visual incomprehension," but "pity the fool who lets that stand in the way of enjoying The A-Team". He gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4.[48] In contrast, Lou Lumenick of the New York Post, who titled his piece "Pity the fool who sees 'The A-Team'", is among the most critical, calling the film "overlong, overblown and utterly forgettable."[49] The Hollywood Reporter criticizes the film's story, character development and logic, calling it "nearly writer-free,"[50] whilst The St. Petersburg Times was far more positive, calling the film "literally a blast" from start to finish, and praises it for "containing more thrills than the average shoot-em-up".[51]
Film critic Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times was especially critical, rating the film just one and a half out of a possible four stars, and said The A-Team is an incomprehensible mess, criticizing the film for being as shallow as the television series, which he describes as "punishment" when drawn out to a two-hour long film.[52] Stephen Whitty of The Star-Ledger complains the film makers remembered little more from the television series than a Dirty Dozen gimmick and compares the film to the "awful" Smokin' Aces by the same director. He suggests a better plan would be to rent The Losers or wait for The Expendables. He concludes The A-Team is only C-grade.[53]
Dirk Benedict, the original Templeton Peck, spoke of regretting his cameo, stating "You'll miss me if you blink. I kind of regret doing it because it's a non-part. They wanted to be able to say, 'Oh yeah, the original cast are in it,' but we're not. It is three seconds. It's kind of insulting."[54]
Mr. T, the original B. A. Baracus, was offered a cameo, but turned it down.[55] In a 2010 interview with Script magazine director Joe Carnahan reported that Mr. T, after viewing scenes from the film, thought the final product was "the greatest thing in the world".[56] After the premiere of the film Mr. T allegedly stated that he had become disillusioned and felt the story emphasized sex and violence, and that it was unfaithful to the original series.[57] An attorney for Mr. T later stated that the actor had not yet seen the film and could not comment on it.[58]
Dwight Schultz, who played the TV series' "Howling Mad" Murdock, issued a statement to his official fansite that the film "pays homage to the series while it eschews its essential working premise: a band of capable military brothers for hire determined to save underdog and usually poor civilians from scum." However, Schultz did acknowledge that the movie is not faithful to the TV series. "The team characters are sufficiently different and, with so many roles reversed from the original, one could say they are not really derivative, save for their names." He also noted that Sharlto Copley's Murdock "is faithful to the original, but at the same time is big screen twisted and right at home with the new team."
In the psychiatric hospital scene, Reginald Barclay, Schultz's character from Star Trek: The Next Generation, is credited during the opening title of a film, as is L.T. Starbuck, referencing Lieutenant Starbuck, Benedict's character from the original Battlestar Galactica.[59]
The film had an average performance at the box office. It fell slightly short of expectations for its opening weekend, earning $26 million, as opposed to the initially predicted $30–35 million.[2] The film opened behind The Karate Kid, which took in $56 million.[60][61] The film opened in the UK./Ireland on July 28, 2010, and came at #3 in at the box office with a first weekend haul of $5.6 million.[3] As of August 26, 2010 (2010 -08-26)[update], The A-Team has taken over $77 million at the U.S. box office, and $99 million internationally, for a worldwide total of over $176 million.[3]
The film was released December 14, 2010 on DVD and Blu-ray.[62] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 27 in Australia and on November 29, 2010 in the UK. An extended cut was also released.[63] Two of the most noteworthy additions in the extended cut were the two cameo scenes of the original Face and Murdock, which were pushed back after the end credits in the original cut due to pacing.[citation needed]
Neeson, Cooper, Copley, and Jackson have expressed interest in doing a sequel.[64][65] Joe Carnahan has expressed interest in directing a sequel and said it will depend on DVD and Blu-ray sales and rentals.[66] On March 10, 2011, Cooper stated that the film had not generated enough revenue for there to be a sequel.[67]
