Mile 22 2018

American black operations agent James Silva heads a covert team known as Overwatch, tasked with the critical mission of infiltrating a Russian FSB safe house located on American soil. Under the watchful eye of James Bishop, the objective is to locate and eliminate shipments of Caesium, a highly hazardous substance that could potentially be weaponized, jeopardizing countless lives.

As the team successfully breaks into the hideout, they capture several FSB operatives, collecting vital intelligence, including DNA samples and critical data from SSB drives. However, chaos quickly ensues as the FSB launch a counteroffensive, igniting the safe house in flames. While the team manages to neutralize the threats, the operation takes a grave turn when Alice Kerr, a team member, sustains injuries.

In the ensuing chaos, an 18-year-old Russian named Anatole Kuragin falls from a window amid an explosion, pleading for his life. In a heart-wrenching decision, Silva executes the boy, prompting a desperate escape for the team. As they sift through the materials seized from the safe house, they begin tracking the Caesium, only to discover that one last batch remains elusive.

The story unfolds as we learn more about Silva, a decorated veteran with a tragic past—his mother and twin brothers perished in a car accident, leaving him the sole survivor. Fast forward sixteen months, and the team is now in Indonesia, on the hunt for the final Cesium tranche. Unfortunately, the intelligence they receive leads to a wild goose chase, revealing only weapons and counterfeit paintings.

Tensions rise when Aleksander, a senior lieutenant in the Russian armed forces, initiates a high-stakes operation from the skies, leaving little room for failure. The plot thickens as Indonesian police officer Li Noor voluntarily surrenders to U.S. authorities in a desperate bid for protection, claiming to possess crucial information about the last remaining sets of Caesium.

As the clock ticks down—his intel set to self-destruct in mere hours—Noor negotiates his own escape while revealing that the confiscated paintings are containers for the Caesium. Amidst this tension, Alice wrestles with familial obligations, struggling to reconcile her duties as a mother with the perilous mission at hand.

Meanwhile, Axel leads a fierce faction demanding Noor’s return, and chaos erupts as an attempt is made on Noor’s life within the U.S. embassy. Witnessing Noor’s exceptional combat skills, Alice and fellow operative Sam Snow are astounded to learn of Noor’s background in the Indonesian Special Forces.

In a brave yet reckless plan, Silva resolves to escort Noor to a nearby airstrip, where he can unlock the disc’s information. As they travel, Noor discusses the corruption within his government that led to his family’s demise, intensifying the stakes of their mission. The journey takes a deadly turn when Axel’s men booby-trap their vehicle, forcing Silva’s team to fight back and sacrifice lives in a desperate struggle for survival.

A dramatic confrontation ensues when Axel and Silva face off. As violence erupts, civilians are caught in the crossfire leading to devastating consequences for the Overwatch team. Amid the chaos, Silva’s leadership is put to the test, and loyalties are fiercely challenged.

Eventually, the remaining team makes a frantic dash for the airplane, but not without further loss. Just as salvation seems within reach, a shocking betrayal comes to light: Noor is not merely a double agent but a triple agent working for the Russians, further complicating an already perilous mission. The devastating realization strikes: Noor’s deception led to the wrongful execution of the Russian general’s son by Silva.

As the climax unfolds during their flight, the Overwatch team faces an ambush, leading to tragic losses and uncertainty about Alice’s fate. In the aftermath, torn by guilt and vengeance, Silva finds himself trying to come to terms with the cost of the mission, culminating in a solemn vow for retribution against those who wronged him and his team.
