Explicații IMDb: John Porter leads his unit into battle trying to rescue the CEO of a British weapons manufacturing company captured in Iraq, just before the invasion started. His team is joined by Hugh Collinson, operative of British military intelligence. The operation almost goes awry when Collinson kills larger portion of Porter's team, and blames a teenage suicide bomber, As'ad, Porter previously saved. The surviving members of the team manage to rescue their target, and Porter rejects Collinson's offer to joint Section 20, a new unit within military intelligence, doubting Collinson's account of the rescue operation incident and resigns from the SAS.
Explicații TMDb: Still haunted by the memory of a disastrous Special Forces mission which he led in 2003, John Porter is given an opportunity to redeem himself by returning to Iraq to rescue a kidnapped TV reporter.
Explicații Wikipedia: On the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a Special Forces unit takes part in an operation to release a hostage, weapons contractor Kenneth Bratton, during which, John Porter (Armitage) disarms a boy named As'ad wearing a suicide vest. After the hostage is found, two soldiers are killed and one is left in a vegetative state. Believing the boy was responsible, and that Porter did not kill him, he is dishonourably discharged. Fellow officer Hugh Collinson (Lincoln) becomes the head of Section 20 of MI6. Seven years later, journalist Katie Dartmouth (Brady) is kidnapped outside Basra by the "Sword of Islam"; the kidnappers demand the release of one of their comrades from Belmarsh Prison. They chop off Dartmouth's hand over a live video feed. Upon realising one of the kidnappers is As'ad, Collinson "reactivates" Porter. A separate unit is tasked with retrieving Dartmouth after tracking the live feed, but it is a decoy; they are killed when the building rigged with explosives detonates. In the end, Porter goes on his own to the same apartment building during the same operation seven years previous.
