Mine

Mike Stevens is a U.S. Marine sniper sent on a secret job in the North African desert with his partner Tommy. After the mission goes wrong, Mike steps on something that clicks under his boot and believes it is a live land mine. He must keep his foot still for more than two days while the sun, sand, animals, and enemy fighters close in. The film is slow, tight, and often grim, and it keeps the camera close on one man who cannot walk away.

Mike spends long hours alone with flashbacks of his girlfriend Jenny and his hard childhood home. He also meets a local desert man who lost family to mines and tells him he must choose to move forward. The rescue is delayed by distant leaders who speak over the radio, which adds stress but stays inside a normal war story. In the end Mike risks a step and learns the object under his foot was not a bomb at all. The film treats that choice as a private fight with fear, regret, and the will to keep living.
