Lone Survivor (2013)

Lone Survivor (2013) is a gripping war drama directed by Peter Berg, based on Marcus Luttrell’s memoir of the same name. The film recounts the harrowing true story of a U.S. Navy SEAL mission gone tragically wrong during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. It is widely praised for its realistic portrayal of combat and the resilience of soldiers under extreme circumstances.
The film follows a four-man SEAL team led by Lieutenant Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch) as they are sent into the rugged mountains of Afghanistan to capture or kill a Taliban leader. The team, which includes Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt Axelson (Ben Foster), is discovered by local goat herders. Bound by the rules of engagement, the SEALs release the herders, but the decision leads to their position being compromised.
Outnumbered and surrounded by Taliban fighters, the SEALs engage in a brutal firefight that tests their limits of endurance and bravery. As the title suggests, Marcus Luttrell becomes the sole survivor of the mission, ultimately finding refuge with a local Afghan villager who risks his life to protect him.
