Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 18 days in the California desert standing in for the Middle East, with Campbell performing most of her own stunts in extreme heat.
The film deliberately mirrors 2018's 'Beirut' in its journalist-in-peril structure but gender-flips the power dynamics, making the female lead architect rather than victim of her own escape.
