When the US announced that it would withdraw its forces from Afghanistan, the country panicked and the world was scandalised when it emerged that the Americans had left thousands of locals, who had collaborated with the US, "on ice". Now they were all facing death. Director Guy Ritchie has put all these stories and suspense together in a new military thriller, "A Firm Foothold". While on patrol in Afghanistan, US Army Sergeant John Kinley (actor Jake Gyllenhaal) recruits a local translator, Ahmed (actor Dar Salim), to join his squad. When John's platoon is ambushed by the Taliban, all but two of them are killed. Risking his life, Ahmed carries the badly wounded sergeant to safety and nurses him back to health until he is strong enough to return home. Back in America, after learning that his rescuer will be abandoned as US troops retreat, John can't accept it. Even though he knows that this will most likely be a voluntary death sentence, John decides to go to Afghanistan to try and save his translator and his family. The intense military thriller "A Firm Hold" opens in Lithuanian cinemas on 28 April. N-16 The film is in English with Lithuanian subtitles. Directed by Guy Ritchie ("Operation Fortune: Masters of Deception") Starring Jake Gyllenhaal ("Zodiac", "Donnie Darko"), Alexander Ludwig ("Vikings"), Dar Salim ("Game of Thrones")
