“One wall. One sniper. Two soldiers. No way out.”
Set during the Iraq War, The Wall is a tense psychological war thriller focused on two American soldiers โ Sergeant Allen Isaac (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Staff Sergeant Shane Matthews (John Cena). After responding to a distress call in the desert, they fall into an ambush by an unseen sniper.
Wounded and pinned down behind a crumbling brick wall, Isaac is left alone, injured, and without radio communication โ except for the voice of the enemy sniper taunting him through the radio. What follows is a deadly mental and physical standoff between hunter and hunted.
A minimalist, high-stakes survival thriller
Intense psychological mind games and moral tension
Brutal realism and suspense in a single, confined setting
A story about fear, survival, and the invisible line between soldier and target
โYouโre not fighting a war. Youโre surviving one.โ
