Director: Derek Ting
A strange energy signature buried under the New Mexico desert draws a covert task force straight into a fight against something far beyond human weaponry in "Agent Recon," a 2024 sci-fi action film directed by Derek Ting.
What is Agent Recon about?
Sent to investigate a classified disturbance at a hidden base, a small military unit expects to find a rogue experiment or an enemy incursion — not an entity unlike anything they've trained for. What they uncover is a being of overwhelming strength and speed, capable of commanding a swarm of mindless soldiers under its control. Cut off from easy extraction and badly outmatched, the team has to fight its way through wave after wave of these controlled attackers just to get close enough to understand what they're actually facing, let alone stop it. The film moves at a brisk, low-budget action clip, packing its 85 minutes with base-under-siege combat rather than slow build-up. Derek Ting both directs and stars, sharing the screen with genre veteran Chuck Norris and Marc Singer as the unit's command structure comes under increasing strain.
Cast & crew
Derek Ting leads the cast as well as directing, joined by Marc Singer and Chuck Norris in supporting roles, with Sylvia Kwan, Jason Scott Jenkins, Matthew Ryan Burnett, Nikki Leigh, and Teo Briones rounding out the task force.
Context & significance
"Agent Recon" arrived in 2024 with a runtime of 85 minutes, aimed squarely at fans of low-budget military-versus-alien action. Its IMDb score of 2.3 reflects a rough critical reception typical of the genre's smaller-scale entries, though it still delivers the base-siege premise its trailer promises: a secret facility, an unknown threat, and a team that has to improvise its way out. The presence of Chuck Norris alongside Ting's dual director-star role gives the film a throwback action-movie flavor.
