The rescue effort sets of a series of cascading mishaps, triggering more mines, and trapping the soldiers in clusters on the riverbed as the injuries, desperation, and severed limbs pile up. Two, the script by Tom Williams and the direction by Paul Katis are both models of steady craftsmanship and honorable intent. The film opens the day before the incident, so we see the soldiers as they lay about their outpost and pass the time. The production is British, as are the actors. That disables the roadblock, so the next morning, three of the soldiers suit up and head down to investigate, which leads them into the riverbed and the minefield death trap. Mark Wright David Elliot is the soldier who is the most grievously wounded, but who paradoxically becomes the heart and soul of the troop, relying on his words to keep his comrades steady and sane as he lays there in the dirt. They conclude they need to move him to another spot that will be easier to defend should the Taliban show up.
