Mile 22 is a 2018 American espionage action thriller film directed by Peter Berg and written by Lea Carpenter, from a story by Carpenter and Graham Roland. The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Iko Uwais, John Malkovich, Lauren Cohan, and Ronda Rousey. It follows an elite CIA task force composed of paramilitary officers from the Special Activities Division’s Ground Branch, that has to escort a high-priority asset 22 miles to an extraction point while being hunted by the government. The film marks the fourth collaboration between Berg and Wahlberg, following Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, and Patriots Day.

The film was released in the United States on August 17, 2018, and grossed $66 million worldwide. It received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, who called it “confusing and a chaotic mess,” alongside criticizing the cinematography and editing in the action sequences, although the performance of Uwais received praise.

Plot

CIA SAC/SOG officer James Silva leads a deniable strike team code-named Overwatch to infiltrate a Russian FSB safe house in the United States. Under the supervision of James Bishop, Overwatch’s mission is to locate and destroy shipments of cesium before the highly toxic substance can be weaponized to kill thousands. The team successfully kills the occupants, while Overwatch member Alice Kerr is wounded. One of the boys falls out of an explosion after unsuccessfully trying to save all the cesium. Silva executes the boy who pleads not to be killed, and everyone escapes.

16 months later, Indocarr (fictional country loosely based on Indonesia) police officer Li Noor surrenders himself at the U.S. embassy to negotiate for passage out of the country in exchange for information. Noor is revealed to be Alice’s asset and reveals that the disc contains the information regarding the last cesium, but he negotiates for passage out of the country in exchange for the code. The information in the disc is destroying itself and will be rendered useless in a few hours. While Noor is being tested, Alice tries to come to the terms of her family issues. Axel, leading a team from the Indocarr State Intelligence Agency, arrives at the embassy and demands that Noor be handed over. Meanwhile, Noor fends off an assassination attempt by Indocarr agents. Overwatch operative Sam Snow and Alice arrive, shocked at his combat prowess, learning that Noor used to be Indocarr Special Forces.

Silva agrees to take Noor to an airplane, where it is 22 miles away. While driving, Noor reveals his reasons for turning on the Indocarr government: The government had been corrupt and killed his family. While driving, the camera Bishop was looking at blacks out, then comes on again. During the camera blackout, Axel has his men put bombs on the car, making it explode. While Silva’s team helps fend off Axel’s men, Sam is mortally injured. After defeating most of Axel’s men, Silva gives Sam two grenades, and leaves her, letting her suicide-attack the remaining henchmen.

Silva, Noor, Alice, and Douglas enter a restaurant. Silva sees Axel, and walks toward him, even though Bishop tells him not to. Axel tells James to give up Noor, but James refuses, and walks away. He brushes past two girls, and realizes that there is a grenade in the restaurant, and tackles down civilians before it explodes. When the dust clears, Douglas is severely wounded, and James is attacked by the same girls, only Noor to save Silva by killing them. While going to a safe house, Douglas dies while holding off Axel’s men.

While entering an apartment complex, Alice is separated and meets a girl in an apartment. Alice and the girl escape harm by using booby-trapped grenades. Meanwhile, Silva and Noor split up, fighting Axel and his henchmen respectively. Silva and Noor meet up again, and meet the girl Alice saved. She leads them to Alice, where Alice is losing against a henchman, but Noor kills the henchman by shooting him in the head.

On the way to the air strip, the remaining team members are briefly confronted by Axel. Silva, having had enough, has Overwatch kill Axel by destroying his car with a drone strike. The team barely makes it to the airplane, where Li Noor and Alice board the airplane to meet her family once again. While on the airplane, Bishop notices Noor’s heart rate is accelerating and it is revealed that Li Noor isn’t a double agent, but a triple agent working for the Russian government, and the boy Silva killed was the son of a high-ranking official within the Russian government. The official hired Noor to give Alice the wrong information, so they would trust him, and just as Alice realizes this, Overwatch is ambushed, and the entire team is shot. Bishop barely escapes, and rests outside while Alice’s fate is left unknown. Silva realizes this too late and tells his experience during a post-mission debriefing. Back at home, Silva puts up Li Noor’s picture, vowing revenge. It should be added here that the hard disk that has been handed over by Noor is a Trojan horse that the moment that Noor gave up the password, it hacks the system of Overwatch personnel’s profile which is the main objective, punished them all for the death of the high-ranking Russian official’s son.
