The Guardian (aka The Guardsman) is a 2006 action-adventure drama film directed by Andrew Davis. The film stars Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher and Melissa Sagemiller. The film's title is introduced by a mythic tale: people lost at sea often claim they feel a presence lifting them to the surface, breathing life into their bodies while they are waiting for help to arrive. They call this presence "The Guardian". The setting for the film is the United States Coast Guard and their Aviation Survival Technician (AST) program. The Guardian was released on September 29, 2006.

Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher star in THE GUARDIAN, the powerful, action-packed drama that takes you inside the never-before-seen world of the elite Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Reeling with grief in the wake of a mission gone tragically wrong, legendary Rescue Swimmer Ben Randall (Costner) is given a mission he doesn't want — training raw recruits. Once there, he knocks heads with cocky Jake Fischer (Kutcher), a swimming champ driven by a painful secret, who's more interested in breaking Ben's records than saving lives. But Ben also sees Jake has what it takes to be the best of the best. Filled with spectacular rescues in the lethal waters of the Bering Sea, THE GUARDIAN is a riveting and compelling story that dives straight into the heart and soul of real heroes, the unsung guardians ...

Clip from The Guardian. It is personally one if not my favorite part in a movie.
I push through the crowd
Without looking back
To leave you behind
Took all i had
And maybe i'm wrong
i might be sorry
But what kind of fool
Would hope for a change
Then write a new word
On a page that stained
and ruined by lie
You shouldn't have told me
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
On a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I swallow the urge
To call out your name
The need crashes in
I brace for the wave
And pray it will pass
Not take me under
'cause, I'm the guardian
I am the last defence for
My weakened heart
That still wants you
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
