The Wall

ActionAdventureDramaThrillerWar90 min

In the Iraqi desert, an American sniper and his spotter are pinned down by an unseen Iraqi marksman, with only a crumbling wall between them and open sand. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the soldier trapped in the sniper’s line of sight, trying to communicate and stay alive as the standoff narrows. Nearby, John Cena’s partner is stranded in the same exposed stretch of battlefield. Directed by Doug Liman, the film keeps its focus on a single deadly contest of distance, radio chatter, and split-second decisions, turning a patch of rubble into the center of the fight.
