Although the trailer was not officially released globally, some users on Twitter, however, uploaded the trailer beforehand where we see that Sergeant John Kinley is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed to survey the region. His first question to his interpreter is why he needs the job, to which he replies – money but we later get to know how his family is barely surviving.

During the survey, when their unit is ambushed on patrol, Kinley and Ahmed are the only survivors. With enemy combatants in pursuit, Ahmed risks his own life to carry an injured Kinley across miles of gruelling terrain to safety. Back on US soil, Kinley learns that Ahmed and his family were not given passage to America as promised. Determined to protect his friend and repay his debt, Kinley returns to the warzone to retrieve Ahmed and his family before the local militias reach them first.

There’s also a scene where someone asks John after he recovers – what he remembers about his time in Afghanistan and all he says is the interpreter. While Ahmed is often seen hiding somewhere with his family and with Sergeant John on his way to find them and bring them back to safety.
