Stars Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum are set to feature in a film about the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. Universal has picked up the untitled project, which will be directed by George Nolfi of The Adjustment Bureau fame.

Based on recently reported true stories, the film will follow three former special forces team members who jump back into the fray alongside their Afghan counterparts, to rescue families and allies left behind amid the rapid fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August this year.
