Ringkasan Plot
At the beginning of the 2003 Iraq War, Warrior. Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), a young infantry with an Army Reserve slammed his hand at the Humvee door in an attempt to be sent home. The narration revealed that he registered in July 2001, to get tuition. Some time later, he was seen with a cast on his arm, his efforts unsuccessful. The cast was cut off just in time to be sent to Baghdad. During the battle, Ocre finds the sniper and Sergeant Dylan Chutsky (Glen Powell) summoned a helicopter attack that destroyed the building where the sniper was located.
The film then jumped forward for some time after the battle, when the Ocre team was assigned to repair the damaged water system in the hazardous Baqubah village. They arrived at the village and met with the Special Forces unit led by Cpt. Syverson (Henry Cavill). Syverson introduces them to their translator and explains that they will travel to the pumping station and fill the tankers with water to take back to the village every day. At the station, Army engineers working at the pump explained that it would take weeks to complete the repair, but improvements would run faster if Harper could recruit some villagers to help. Back in the village, they told the locals that they would pay anyone who came to work the next morning. However, when the morning came, no one was there by the time they were ready to leave. Without labor coming from the village, they are forced to help the engineers themselves. During one trip home, vehicles were seen coming behind them at high speed. They stopped the vehicle and interrogated the driver, but learned he took his daughter to another village for treatment. During another trip, they were attacked by some rebels with small guns, who shot holes in the tank. The next day, while distributing water, the shots broke. They were involved in a firefight with several enemy fire from the roof, where Sergeant Chutsky was killed.
After finally getting help from Kadir, the local school administrator (played by Navid Negahban), who desperately needed water to keep the school open, they started making better progress at the station. One morning, no Iraqis appeared to work and troops returned to the village, where they found the administrator's body burned and tied to a pole in the schoolyard. Arif's administrative brother (Nabil Elouahabi) angrily tells Syverson where the rebels have met. A plan was quickly formed to attack them that night. The attack was successful, killing several enemies and capturing more, but Corporal. Enzo (Neil Brown Jr.) and Sgt. Burton (Beau Knapp) are both injured and need to be evacuated by helicopter. Working at the pumping station finally returned, with Arif bringing the local worker crew. However, soon after, the pumping station was hit by Improvised explosive devices, destroying all the work done by the group.
Ocre and Harper return to their base in Baghdad. Harper was given a three-week leave, and Ocre was told he was going home. Protest Ocre, but rejected. The next day, he was escorted to the airstrip by Harper and Sgm. MacGregor (Tommy Flanagan). After asking MacGregor if it was a beautiful day for the infantry and receiving an enthusiastic affirmation, he boarded the plane.
