Story Summary

In the scorching desert of Iraq, two American soldiers — Sergeant Allen Isaac (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Staff Sergeant Shane Matthews (John Cena) — are sent to investigate a site of a sniper ambush. What starts as a routine mission quickly becomes a deadly trap.

Pinned behind a crumbling wall with no backup, no water, and a sniper watching their every move, Isaac is forced into a tense psychological game. The enemy, hidden and speaking through a stolen radio, begins a chilling cat-and-mouse mind game where survival depends on wit, nerve, and patience.

This isn’t just a battle of bullets — it’s a war of wills.

Intense, claustrophobic storytelling — almost the entire film takes place in one location.

A powerful performance by Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Explores the unseen mental toll of war in a unique, raw way.
