About the Film

Lone Survivor is a 2013 American biographical war film directed by Peter Berg, based on Marcus Luttrell's memoir of the failed U.S. Navy SEAL mission Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in June 2005. Mark Wahlberg stars as Luttrell, alongside Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, and Ben Foster as the four-man SEAL team tasked with eliminating a Taliban leader in the mountains of Kunar Province.

When they are discovered by goatherds and must decide whether to kill unarmed civilians or release them and risk exposure, their decision to let them go leads to a devastating ambush by approximately 200 Taliban fighters on a rocky mountainside. Peter Berg staged the combat sequences with unflinching, visceral intensity — the extended firefight, in which the SEALs tumble down rock faces, sustain horrifying injuries, and fight against overwhelming odds, was one of the most physically brutal depictions of modern combat ever filmed. Lone Survivor earned $154 million worldwide on a $40 million budget.
