Zero Dark Thirty/Lone Survivor/Green Zone/Contraband/Safe House

Collection of five action films. 'Zero Dark Thirty' (2012), shines a light on the secretive processes behind the manhunt to capture or kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

The film details the work done by the intelligence team responsible for finally tracking him down, graphically documenting the unfolding ten-year intelligence hunt through the eyes of CIA analyst Maya (Jessica Chastain). 'Lone Survivor' (2014) follows a group of four US Navy SEALs as they are deployed on a mission to kill or capture Ahmed Shahd (Yousuf Azami), a formidable Taliban leader.

While working carefully to avoid detection, the team are spotted by a local goat herder and his two sons.

Faced with the tough decision between killing them, an act that would be against the Geneva Conventions, and setting them free, which would potentially compromise their cover, the team choose the humane but risky option.

But when one of the boys informs the local Taliban of the SEALs' whereabouts it isn't long before the team are engaged in a bloody and ferocious battle.

In 'Green Zone' (2010), Matt Damon stars as Chief Army Warrant Officer Roy Miller, a specialist soldier who joins forces with Wall Street reporter Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan) to expose the hotbed of covert and faulty intelligence surrounding the search for Iraq's cache of weapons of mass destruction.

In 'Contraband' (2012), Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) left his life of crime behind a long time ago and is now happily settled into family life with his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale).

But when his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), becomes involved in a botched gangland drug deal, Chris finds himself dragged back into the criminal underworld as he goes all out to save Andy's skin.

In 'Safe House' (2012), rookie CIA agent Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is assigned to manage a South African safe house for renegade former operative Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington).

The two men are forced to go on the run, however, when the house is attacked by mercenaries.

Now, these unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to figure out exactly who it is that's trying to kill them.
