What if a war weren't waged between two countries, but two people?

That's the premise of Doug Liman's (The Bourne Ultimatum, Mr. and Mrs. Smith) 2017 thriller The Wall, in which two American soldiers are locked in impasse with an Iraqi sniper.

While investigating a suspicious scene, John Cena's character is struck down by the sniper. The bullet went through, as he says in the trailer, but that means it's only a matter of time before he bleeds out. Johnson remains hidden from the line of fire when he realizes that help isn't coming -- it's just the two of them, a sniper and a ticking clock.

The Wall will be in theaters on March 10.
