The year is 2036 and Eastern Europe is in chaos. A warlord is seeking control of old Russian nukes, with the codes locked in a vault in the Ukraine. When a drone pilot named Harp (Damon Idris) kills Marines during an air strike, he is reassigned to Captain Leo (Anthony Mackie), whose secret is he’s a robot android designed for warfare. Together they have to infiltrate the warlord’s headquarters “outside the wire,” with the help of an insider informant (Emily Beecham).
