Brock Pike is the secondary antagonist of the 2010 film The A-Team, the film adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name. He is the field team leader of the private security organization Black Forest who held a rivalry with the A-Team during their time in the U.S. army. He later conspired with General Russell Morrison to betray Agent Lynch and steal the engraving plates, and framed the A-Team for the incident.
He is portrayed by Brian Bloom, who also played Adam "Kane" Marcus in the Kane & Lynch video games, as well as Billy Barnes and Eric Reilly in Mafia II.
History[]
As the A-Team succeeded in the mission to recover U.S. Treasury plates stolen by Iraqi insurgents and returning to base, Pike and his men attacked the convoy and destroyed the vehicle that apparently killed the A-Team's commanding officer, General Russell Morrison, along with the money inside. Due to his death, no one could confirm that Smith's team were authorized to act and they are sentenced to ten years in separate prisons.
Six months later, Agent Lynch of the Central Intelligence Agency, who has assigned the mission to the team, goes to prison to talk with Hannibal. He tells him that Pike will be in Germany and will try to transfer the stolen engraving plates to an unknown Arab tomorrow. Hannibal later escapes and breaks out the rest of the team before they travel to Frankfurt, Germany.
After arriving in Germany, the A-Team finds Pike in the Konigsbank Tower and manages to steal the plates from Pike and Smith kidnaps the Arab. Pike is confronted by B.A. Baracus, but beats him into submission until Smith arrives and rescues his friend. Shortly after, Pike is captured by former Captain Charissa Sosa. It is then revealed that the kidnapped accomplice is actually General Morrison, who has faked his death and plotted with Lynch and Pike to steal the plates. At the same time, Lynch manages to retrieve Pike and orders an airstrike to kill the A-Team and Morrison, but the team manages to escape.
The A-Team decides to lure Lynch and Pike by pretending that Morrison is still alive and organizes a meeting at the docks in Los Angeles. They manage to kill most of Lynch's men, but Pike uses a rocket launcher to cause damage to the ship and chases Templeton Peck to near-death. However, B.A. arrives and fights Pike before killing him by breaking his neck and spinal cord.
