The Objective (Thriller / Completed)

Afghanistan, November 2001. Two months after the attacks on the World Trade Center, a highly trained Special Forces team is sent into the Afghanistan desert to make contact with a man known as "Mohammed Aban." Instead they find something else... something that even their elite training hasn't prepared them for.

From the acclaimed director of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE OBJECTIVE follows Ben Keynes (Jonas Ball), a CIA operative allegedly sent to "pave the way" for success in the war in Afghanistan. Part covert military operation, part personal journey, Ben leads his assigned team into one of the most uninhabitable and isolated regions on the planet.

As the situation rapidly begins to disintegrate, each member of the team finds themselves asking the same question: who is the real enemy?
