Go behind the scenes of Lone Survivor with the real US Navy SEAL whose experiences are told in the film (and who wrote the book the movie is based on) as well as family members of the SEALs who lost their lives during the gun fight that’s the focus of the film. Director Peter Berg also talks about the responsibility of getting their story right in this featurette from the action thriller coming to theaters on December 25, 2013.
 
The Plot:
 
Based on The New York Times bestselling true story of heroism, courage and survival, Lone Survivor tells the incredible tale of four Navy SEALs on a covert mission to neutralize a high-level al-Qaeda operative who are ambushed by the enemy in the mountains of Afghanistan. Faced with an impossible moral decision, the small band is isolated from help and surrounded by a much larger force of Taliban ready for war. As they confront unthinkable odds together, the four men find reserves of strength and resilience as they stay in the fight to the finish.
 
Mark Wahlberg stars as Marcus Luttrell, the author of the first-person memoir Lone Survivor, whose book has become a motivational resource for its lessons on how the power of the human spirit is tested when we are pushed beyond our mental and physical limits. Starring alongside Wahlberg as the other members of the SEAL team are Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster.
