Marcus and the others endure terrific carnage as they fight their way through a bevy of Taliban. Not a shot is fired for the first hour of Lone Survivor, which seems strange, but enough gunfire and explosions pack the second half that it feels like you’re watching two movies. The four heroes.Īfter hiking toward and scouting out Shah’s compound from the surrounding mountains, Marcus and company are discovered by a family of goatherds. Military brass sends the best of the best, a group of four SEALs including Marcus Luttrell, Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz, and Matthew “Axe” Axelson (Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, and Ben Foster, respectively). In a nearby village is a Taliban leader named Shah, a man who has killed dozens of Marines and needs to get got. In their bunks men use DOD-issued Toughbook laptops and tack photos to the plywood walls. So, remembering that training, welcome to Bagram base in Afghanistan and a group of SEALs in the SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team. That footage stays in the back of the mind throughout the story told in Lone Survivor. Navy SEAL training is arguably the most brutal in the world, and we see that training before any actors show up. Men in pools lose their breath and cheat death. Dozens of men link arms and sing “Silent Night” as waves crash over them. Half-frozen men shiver in boats and are forced to do math. The Navy gave Peter Berg archival footage of SEAL training, and some of this footage opens the film. In 2005, during the height of the Afghanistan War, four Navy SEALs hike through mountainous terrain to identify and kill a Taliban leader named Shah (Yousef Azami), a man without earlobes.īefore we get to their actions, we must discuss the movie’s opening. If you didn’t infer that from the movie’s name and poster, well, sorry brah.
Spoiler alert: Mark Wahlberg is the only guy to survive the mission in Lone Survivor. ONE SENTENCE PLOT SUMMARY: One Navy SEAL survives a mission gone wrong in Afghanistan in 2005. A mission in Afghanistan in 2005 goes terribly wrong, and only one man survives.
