The Dependables (previously known as Pride of Lions[2]) is a 2014 straight-to-DVD family action film directed by Sidney J. Furie.

When the US Army is slow to act, a grandmother and four grandfathers with military backgrounds fly to Afghanistan to rescue them.

In his book Sidney J. Furie: Life and Films, author Daniel Kremer writes, "A Pride of Lions again reflected the Hit!-Iron Eagle formula, this time following a group of ex-military senior citizens who venture to Afghanistan to rescue their prisoner-of-war grandchildren.

"[4] Reviewer JJBona of cityonfire.com writes, "In the last couple of years, we’ve reported a number of projects riding the success wave of The Expendables franchise.

If you thought Stallone’s crew were a bunch of old men, check out this cast: Bo Svenson (Walking Tall Part II), Louis Gossett Jr. (Iron Eagle), Seymour Cassel (The Mountain Men), Cedric Smith (Forever Knight), Tom Jackson (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Margot Kidder (1978’s Superman)."
