From Universal’s upcoming film, "Lone Survivor," actor Mark Wahlberg portrays former Navy SEAL and author of the book "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell.
Action movies aren’t known for sparking debate, but "Lone Survivor" will likely incite disagreement among both veterans and civilians. The film is based on Mark Luttrell’s firsthand account of the failed United States Navy SEALs mission Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in which four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked to capture or kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. It honors the soldiers who died in the mission but dances around political and strategic land mines.
