Kevin Costner’s The Guardian: 2006 Coast Guard Film Tops Streaming Charts

After sinking into forgotten waters, The Guardian has been rescued from the depths of obscurity and is now swimming laps around its competition on a free streaming service. The 2006 film stars Kevin Costner as a legendary rescue swimmer for the United States Coast Guard.

Directed by Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), with a script written by Ron L. Brinkerhoff, The Guardian follows a veteran Coast Guard rescue swimmer (played by Kevin Costner) who, haunted by the loss of his crew in a tragic accident, channels his grief into training new recruits, including a talented yet arrogant swimming champion (played by Ashton Kutcher), whom he takes under his wing and into the perilous waters of the Bering Strait for the ultimate test.Now, 19 years after its release, The Guardian ranks first on Tubi’s Top 10 movies in the United States, where it has been for the past four days. It ranks above The Mummy (1999), Breaking In, Practical Magic, Last Holiday, Saw II, Olympus Has Fallen, and Abduction.
