As he relies on his elite military training, the former army ranger battles not only the hostage keepers but his traumatic wartime memories. Directed by Patrick Lussier (Play Dead) and written by Nathan Graham Davis (Cactus Jack), the 2024 movie Aftermath stars Dylan Sprouse, Megan Stott, and Dichen Lachman.
