Lone Survivor, directed by Peter Berg (The Rundown, Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom, Hancock, Battleship), is based on the failed 2005 mission "Operation Red Wings". Four members of SEAL Team 10, were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader, Ahmad Shahd. Marcus Luttrell was the only member of his team to survive. Luttrell later wrote a book with Patrick Robinson titled Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10, which this was adapted from. Luttrell previously said he wanted "to make sure this movie is as realistic as possible". It was filmed in New Mexico in late 2012, and stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster as the four soldiers.
