Very strange channel. So they get that dude to just calmly read the plot synopses on wikipedia of random obscure movies? Damn, why can’t I think of a lazy idea that would get me hundreds of thousands of subscribers…

Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today, I’m going  to explain a psychological thriller war   film called “Mine”. Spoilers  ahead! Watch out and take care!   The movie begins with a hardened US marine Mike  saying goodbye to a young woman at the airport and   traveling in a helicopter to his next mission. In the next scene, Mike and his spotter Tommy are   set up on a cliff overlooking a desert, waiting  for their target to arrive. Tommy is a chatter   box by nature, while Mike has a more serious  disposition. They notice multiple people on foot   on one side and multiple armed vehicles on the  other approaching. Mike’s target is a 65 year old   terrorist Sayid Assiff. As Tommy and the voice  over the radio try to get Mike to make the hit,   he realizes that the group has gathered for a  wedding, and the target might be the groom's   father. Matter further complicates when the groom  and bride block the target. Mike is ordered to   take out the groom to get to the target but he  can’t bring himself to take an innocent life.   Mike lies to his command centre that he  lost the target. The duo are then spotted   by armed men protecting the ceremony. Gun  fire follows. The target immediately flees,   while Mike and Tommy are forced to retreat as  armed men start chasing them. Who would become a   terrorist just to guard a wedding couple in the  middle of nowhere. While running, they damage   their GPS and hide behind a rock formation. The armed men start walking towards the   rock when Mike quickly creates a clever  distraction to send them the other direction.   After evading the armed men, the duo request an  evacuation but are told they need to cross the   desert in front of them to get to a village five  hours away, where they can be picked up. They set   out on foot, weathering sandstorms and scorching  heat. Tommy entertains( perhaps annoys) Mike with   the stories of his son back home. Seeing Mike  silent and seemingly troubled by something,   Tommy forces Mike to open up. Mike reveals that  he is having a hard time proposing marriage to   his girlfriend Jenny. Tommy makes fun of him  for being so scared, but also gives him advice   that initially marriages can be difficult  but over time you get the hang of it.   While passing through the desert, wind brings  a warning sign flying right beneath their feet.   Mike takes the sign seriously, recalling that 33  million landmines have been buried in the desert   in the last 40 years. Tommy assures him it's just  a Berber trick to keep enemies away. Mike is still   proceeding cautiously, his mind preoccupied with  the warning sign. Tommy walks backwards carefreely   a few yards in front of Mike, taking light  hearted digs at Mike for being an overthinker.   Suddenly a click sound is heard and an explosion  follows. Tommy had stepped on a landmine.   As he goes temporarily deaf, Mike takes a step  towards Tommy, and hears another "click" where   his foot just landed. He freezes in shock. The  sand from the blast starts to clear out.   Tommy has survived the explosion, but his  legs below the knees have been amputated.   Tommy screams and quivers in pain. Mike, unable  to move himself, struggles to calm Tommy down.   When nothing seems to work, Mike brings up  Tommy's son, which gives him some motivation   and he's able to inject himself with the morphine  marines carry in their front pocket. Tommy then   tries to reach his radio, but the pain again takes  over him. Seeing his partner in pain, Mike offers   to take his foot off the landmine in order to  help Tommy. Mike speculates that perhaps the   landmine he stepped on is old and defunct. Tommy  warns him not to and inorder to dissuade Mike,   he pulls out his gun and aims it on his head. He  tells Mike that he must survive no matter what   and shoots himself. Mike helplessly screams in grief.   He is stuck in the desert all by himself unable  to move. He soons gets tired of standing and   gets on his one knee. Mike realises he must  somehow fetch the radio lying next to Tommy   several yards away. He ties his shoe lace to  an axe to pull the radio bag towards himself.   However, he learns that the radio's battery  is dead and the spare is on Tommy's body.   Mike is dejected, but thinks of another plan. He  makes a makeshift arrangement to charge the radio   using solar power. Mike is then able to contact  his superiors. He requests immediate evacuation   but he is told that rescue choppers can’t fly  to his location because of frequent sandstorms.   If it all goes well, a convoy  will rescue him in about 52 hours.   Mike gets frustrated by the response. The  major then suggests Mike to try digging a   ditch and jumping in it, which would "only"  result in a non-life-threatening limb loss.   Mike decides to tough it out and wait for  rescue, setting a countdown on his watch.   Then, another massive sandstorm hits full force.  He manages to wait it out without moving from his   spot. Once it's over, the first thing he realizes  is that the storm has brought Tommy's body (and   therefore the spare battery) right next to him,  yet the radio has drifted too far from his reach.   Hours pass by. Mike runs out of water and gets  increasingly desperate and at times wonders   about shooting himself dead. He then notices a  Berber coming towards him, walking in a zig zag.   Mike tries to warn him about the landmine  but the Berber imitates his actions,   seemingly making fun of him. Mike tries to explain  his ordeal to the Berber man, but he insists that   Mike must take the next step. He then takes Mike’s  water flask and disappears into the desert.   Completely dehydrated and desperate, Mike proceeds  to drink his piss when he notices a little Berber   girl coming his way bringing back his water flask.  She hands it to Mike, and to his relief, it's full   with water. Mike quenches his thirst. Although the  girl never speaks, using her toy soldiers, she too   seemingly tells Mike that he has to step off the  mine and move on. Mike tells her that he can’t   move and asks the little girl to fetch him his  radio but the girl doesn’t understand. Desperate,   Mike gets too loud, scaring the girl away. Soon, the night falls and the temperature starts   to drop. Mike lights a fire to keep himself  warm. He starts hearing noises of wild animals.   He takes out his phone and looks at the pictures  of his girlfriend to keep himself distracted. He   finds a video from his girlfriend. In the video,  Jenny tells Mike that she is waiting for him.   Mike must win the war and come back to her as soon  as possible. Mike begins to get emotional. He is   afraid that he might never see his girlfriend  again. Tired of everything happening to him,   he starts to fall asleep, but he snaps out  of it to find that the fire has died out.   He finds himself surrounded by wild  animals. He tries to scare them with his gun   but fails. Guess he should have watched a bit of  ‘Man vs Wild’. The animals drag Tommy’s body away.   One animal starts to proceed toward him but using  his torch light, Mike shoots the animal with his   gun. The animal lands on a landmine, causing an  explosion and scaring the other animals away.   The morning arrives and the same berber man again  drops by. He tells Mike that he is very lucky that   he has survived thus far even after stepping on  a landmine and spending a night in the desert   with wild animals. He once again suggests Mike  to step forward but Mike doesn't comply.   Mike tells him that he probably knows the location  of the mines as he always walks in a pattern.   The Berber responds that he doesn’t know where  the landmines are and he only walks in a zig zag   because it is safer than walking straight.  Mike again asks him to fetch his radio. The   Berber man finally agrees and brings the radio  back to Mike, and then heads on his way.   Mike checks his watch, and there’s still 24  hours left for the help to arrive. He slowly   starts hallucinating. Mike sees Tommy wake up from  his death. The imaginary Tommy motivates Mike, and   tells him that he will get out of this alive. The sun sets again, and Mike starts to think about   all the mistakes he has made in his life. He  starts regretting leaving his girlfriend Jenny   alone and coming to the mission. He again  finds himself surrounded by animals. This   time even mine explosions do not deter them. Mike  aimlessly starts shooting at them in the dark but   the animals still attack him. He gets lost in his  thoughts as he fights off the wild animals.   As the sun rises, Mike again descends back to  reality. All the wild animals that attacked him   lay dead around him. Despite being outnumbered,  he managed to kill all the animals.   Mike has been in that desert all alone by  himself, with his foot over the mine, without   moving for the last 45 hours. He then receives  a communication from his senior who informs   him that the rescue team is running late. The  senior asks him if he can hold on for 17 hours.   Already way past his breaking point, Mike  replies that he cannot go any further.   The major tells him that there is someone who  wants to talk to him. Mike then hears the voice   of Jenny. Mike frantically starts apologizing to  her for leaving her, for messing everything up   and destroying everything he touches. He then  starts hallucinating and sees Jenny sitting   on a couch in front of him in the desert. He  tries to reach her but starts losing strength.   He begins to collapse, when Berber catches him  seemingly arriving out of nowhere. The man starts   nursing Mike’s wounds and tells him about the time  when he too once stepped on a mine, which took off   his leg. He tells Mike that losing his leg felt  like he had lost everything in his life. However,   the pain of losing his leg was all washed away  when he met his wife and had a daughter. He says   that whatever happens in our life, we must keep  moving on. Mike tells the man that he indeed is   lucky as his daughter who brought him water is  really beautiful and has her father’s smile.   The man tells Mike that he no longer has  a daughter; she died in a mine explosion   during one of their father-daughter excursions  to dig out mines and replace them with tin cans.   Mike listens, dumbfounded. The Berber tells  him he's happy his daughter came to meet Mike,   but he really needs to move on now. Then, he  leaves. Mike sees his daughter again. But,   she quickly fades away with the wind. Mike starts to hallucinate again. He sees   his abusive father who used to beat his  mother while he watched helplessly. He   sees his terminally ill mother. He also sees the  lovely times he spent with his girlfriend.   At that moment, he hears on the radio that the  rescue team is passing and they need him to make   his exact location known. He picks up his flare  but before he gets to use it, the terrorists from   before start shooting at him from over the hill.  The shooting triggers a mine explosion nearby,   which sends the flare flying out of Mike’s hand  and reach. He tries to fire back but he is too   weak. But he remembers his girlfriend and uses it  as a motivation. Mike then uses his gun to shoot   at ground and triggers mine explosions around  him which creates a sand smoke, shielding him   from the enemy. He then quickly grabs his sniper  rifle and eliminates the terrorists. With the   rescue team passing by, the flare is still out of  reach. Mike remembers the Berber man’s words that   “You have to keep moving on”. He takes a leap of  faith and takes a step forward. Nothing happens;   there's no explosion. He finds that the  mine he'd stepped on was in fact a tin can,   probably placed there by the Berber's daughter  when she was alive. The villager’s words come to   pass. This entire time, the villager told him that  he could move forward with his life and go back   to his girlfriend. He reminded him that he CAN do  it and the only thing stopping him was fear .   Mike is relieved to be alive despite the  non-lethal gunshot wounds he sustained in   the standoff. He starts bursting into tears.  Maybe he was relieved knowing the fact that   he will be saved or maybe he was angry  for not realizing the correctness of the   situation.Whatever be the reason, one thing was  for sure, this incident would change his life   completely and he had learnt a valuable lesson. He then shoots the flare and   collapses on the ground. The rescue team finds him and   he returns home. Back home at the airport, Jenny  is waiting for him with happy tears in her eyes.   Even before hugging her, he drops to one  knee like he has done throughout different   stages of his life. He then proposes to  her, promising to not leave her alone   again. they can move forward; one step at a time.
