Drawing from Mendoza’s firsthand experience as a Navy SEAL, the film focuses on a 2006 mission in Ramadi. What begins as a surveillance operation quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival. The entire movie unfolds in real time, with no dramatic backstories or overdone patriotism—just raw, immersive storytelling.
🎥 “This isn’t about heroes—it’s about reality,” says Mendoza.

To prepare for their roles, actors underwent an intense SEAL-style boot camp, learning tactical movement, communication, and team dynamics—ensuring their performances feel as real as the mission itself.
📰 Early Buzz: Gritty and Groundbreaking

“The film strips away the romance of combat,” notes one early reviewer.
“It’s one of the most authentic war movies in years.”
