The fourth installment tells the story of the ‘AH BOYS’ returning for their in-camp training. After completion of their full-time national service stints, they were all busy with their respective careers as civilians. When they are called back for in-camp training in an SAF Armour unit, they must juggle between work and their duties as operationally-ready national servicemen. Hilarious situations happen when they are back training together and their military roles reversed. New enemy threats arise as their brotherhood is put to the test.
AH BOYS TO MEN 4 is co-distributed by J Team productions, mm2 Entertainment, Clover Films and Golden Village Pictures in Singapore. Special thanks to the Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Army for their kind support in making the filming possible.
