Semper Fight is a dramatic film that revolves around the life of a decorated veteran, Jack Cave, who is now living a quiet life as a rancher in Montana. The film begins with Jack's peaceful life being disrupted when a former Marine, Cole Russo, shows up at his doorstep seeking his help. Cole is struggling with PTSD and is facing a court-martial after his actions during a firefight in Afghanistan resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians. Jack, being a former Marine himself, understands the pain Cole is going through and agrees to help him out.

With the help of his old Marine friends, Jack starts to train Cole for the upcoming boxing tournament that could potentially change his fate. As they begin training, the film delves into the deep emotional struggles of veterans and the continuous battles they face long after their service has ended.

Throughout the film, there are flashbacks to Jack’s time in the Marine Corps, where he witnessed and experienced the horrors of war. These flashbacks give the audience a glimpse into the mindset of a soldier in combat and sets the tone for the rest of the film.

The bond between Jack and Cole deepens as they work through their emotional struggles and train for the tournament. The boxing scenes in the film are intense and thrilling, and the soundtrack adds a great deal to the film's emotional impact.

The characters are well-developed, and each one’s struggles and motivations are fleshed out nicely, giving the audience a deep understanding of what drives them.
