Story Overview

American intelligence operative James Silva (Mark Wahlberg) leads an elite covert unit tasked with extracting a local police officer named Li Noor (Iko Uwais), who possesses critical information about a missing cache of radioactive material capable of devastating multiple major cities. After seeking refuge inside the U.S. Embassy in a Southeast Asian country, Li Noor becomes the center of a high-risk operation designed to smuggle him out of the country alive.

James Silva is a man officially denied by the state. He commands one of the CIA’s most valuable and least acknowledged tactical teams—highly classified, untouchable, and known to only a select few. When an intelligence source emerges with knowledge that could prevent catastrophic damage across six cities, the mission falls squarely on Silva’s shoulders. His objective is clear: escort the asset through hostile territory to a secure extraction point and uncover the information he is hiding.

But Silva’s team is not the only force hunting for those secrets. As an unidentified and ruthless enemy closes in, the mission turns into a relentless race against time, erupting into brutal close-quarters combat and escalating into a deadly confrontation. Mile 22 is a high-octane action thriller that plunges deep into the shadows of modern intelligence warfare, where survival depends on precision, loyalty, and the willingness to operate beyond the limits of the law.
