Your own training becomes your prison — and your torturer wrote the manual.
Four US Airmen being held captive in a Saudi prison call on their Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape (SERE) training to surive with honor - but their interrogator claims he was once a SERE instructor and will punish them if they try to use those tactics against him. As their captivity goes on, cracks begin to open within the team.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
SERE training was developed during the Korean War specifically because captured Americans were breaking under communist interrogation — this film weaponizes that history against itself.
The entire film was shot in a repurposed meat locker in 10 days; the cast genuinely couldn't see each other between takes, building real disorientation.
