From the producers of Traffic and Blood Diamond, Prisoner of War is a shocking and compelling war film based on true events at Abu Ghraib that shocked the world in 2004.

Key talent:

Sean Astin - Tanner (LOTR, The Goonies, The Strain)

Scott Patterson - Captain Hayes (90210, The Event, Gilmore Girls)

Synopsis:

This dramatic war thriller follows soldier Jack Farmer (Luke Moran) from small town America to Iraq's most infamous prison, Abu Ghraib, where he's tasked with guarding the Army's highest priority detainees. Pressured by his superior (Sean Astin) into using harsh techniques on a seemingly innocent detainee (Omid Abtahi, Argo), the seductive allure of war quickly turns to a haunting reality that threatens to break him. Also stars Sarah Paxton (Aquamarine), Michael Welch (Twilight Saga ) and John Heard ( Home Alone).

We like it because:

Prisoner of War is a powerful and intense depiction behind the walls of one of the world’s largest and most notorious enemy detainment facilities, Abu Ghraib. It gives an insight into the solitary battle the soldiers face day to day: homesickness, boredom and morals vs duty that led to some of the most shocking ever war crimes of recent times.
