00:00A soldier kneels down alone in the middle of a vast, empty desert, and his hands begin to shake.
00:06He realizes he has stepped on a landmine. However, help is hundreds of miles away,
00:11and he is quickly running out of water. How does the soldier survive if he can't move?
00:16Let's find out the answer in the following movie, titled Mine.
00:20Mike, a U.S. Marine sniper, is deep in enemy territory.
00:24He and his spotter, Tommy, have been lying in the sand for hours, waiting.
00:30Their mission is simple, take out a high-value target, a dangerous terrorist leader.
00:35The sun burns overhead and the heat shimmers off the ground.
00:39Finally, the moment arrives. Their target steps into view.
00:43Mike steadies his breathing, his finger hovers over the trigger, and he exhales slowly.
00:48His muscles tense. This is what he trained for. This is his job.
00:53He squeezes the trigger. The shot rings out, but it misses. The target ducks.
00:59Chaos erupts, and guards scatter, yelling orders. Within seconds, the area is in a frenzy.
01:06Mike and Tommy move fast, packing up their gear, and bullets begin to fly.
01:11They scramble down the rocky terrain, their boots kicking up dust.
01:16They run, their hearts pounding, sweat soaking their uniforms.
01:21Their radio crackles, telling them their extraction has been compromised,
01:24and they need to find an alternate route.
01:27Their way out is gone.
01:29They keep moving, running through the endless sea of sand.
01:33The desert stretches for miles in every direction.
01:36No landmarks, no cover.
01:38Their supplies are low, and their water bottles are nearly empty.
01:42Meanwhile, the heat presses down on them, draining their energy.
01:46Hours begin to pass.
01:48Tommy stumbles. He's exhausted.
01:49Then, Tommy stops, and his eyes lock on something beneath his boot.
01:55He barely has time to react.
01:56The explosion rips through the silence.
01:59Sand and smoke burst into the air.
02:02His ears ring.
02:03The world spins as he tries to blink away his blurry vision.
02:07Tommy screams in pain and quickly dies due to his wounds.
02:10Then, a sharp click beneath his foot.
02:13His body locks up.
02:15Cold terror grips him.
02:17He doesn't move.
02:17He doesn't breathe.
02:19He knows what just happened.
02:21He stepped on a mine.
02:22If he lifts his foot, he's dead.
02:25The desert is silent again.
02:27The wind whispers through the dunes, and the sun beats down on his back.
02:32His throat is dry, and his muscles ache, but he cannot move.
02:37Minutes pass.
02:38Then, hours.
02:39He reaches for his radio, but just hears static.
02:42No signal.
02:43He is completely alone.
02:45The heat is unbearable for Mike.
02:47His lips crack.
02:48His skin burns.
02:50But he tries not to think about it.
02:52He tries not to think about Tommy.
02:54He tries not to think about the fact that he might die here.
02:57Then, in the distance, a figure appears.
03:01A man dressed in worn, simple clothing.
03:04A local.
03:05He walks slowly.
03:06Mike's heart pounds.
03:07Help.
03:08He has to get help.
03:09The man stops a few feet away.
03:11He studies Mike.
03:13Then, he nods as if he understands.
03:15He tells Mike that he is stuck.
03:18Mike tells the man about the landmine.
03:20The man nods again.
03:22He tells Mike it is not just his foot that's stuck, but also his mind.
03:27Mike doesn't understand and pleads for help.
03:29But the man just turns and walks away.
03:33Mike is alone again.
03:34More hours pass, and his mind begins to wander.
03:37He thinks about home.
03:38About his father.
03:40About the training that led him here.
03:42He thinks about Jenny, the woman he left behind and promised to return to.
03:46He starts to see things.
03:47Shapes in the darkness.
03:49Shadows moving.
03:50Then, the growling starts.
03:52Dark shapes move in the distance.
03:54And low snarls echo through the night.
03:57Wild dogs.
03:58Starving and hungry.
04:00As they creep close, Mike sees their eyes glowing.
04:04They bare their sharp teeth, ready to rip him apart.
04:07Mike raises his pistol in defense.
04:09But before he can shoot, the dog triggers another landmine and dies.
04:13Mike is left alone again.
04:15As the night drags on, the cold seeps into his bones.
04:19His body is weak, and his foot has grown numb.
04:22He can barely keep his eyes open, but he can't fall asleep.
04:26If he does, he won't wake up.
04:28Finally, dawn breaks.
04:30The sky turns red and gold as he blinks against the light.
04:34His mind is foggy, and he can barely think.
04:37Then, a realization.
04:39A terrible, impossible thought.
04:42What if there never was a mine?
04:44His foot has been on this spot for hours.
04:47Through the explosion.
04:48Through the storm.
04:49Through the dogs.
04:50It never went off.
04:51Could it be?
04:52Could the man have been right?
04:54His heart races.
04:56He has a choice.
04:56Stay here or lift his foot.
04:59The desert is silent, and the wind is still as he breathes in, and lifts his foot.
05:05Nothing happens.
05:06For a moment, he cannot process it.
05:09His body trembles, both from exhaustion and disbelief.
05:12The landmine was never real.
05:15He had been trapped in his own fear, unable to move for an entire day.
05:20Relief washes over him.
05:21He falls to his knees, laughing and crying at the same time.
05:25The desert did not trap him.
05:28His mind did.
05:29But he is still alone.
05:31Darkness creeps at the edge of his vision.
05:33The last thing he sees is a pair of boots approaching him.
05:36Then, everything fades.
05:38The last night.
05:39I was drunk by the earth.
05:40A calm one.
05:44He has was your life.
05:46The once again.
05:47I was scared.
05:47I was afraid of my ģ“ėÆø dead.
05:49So what if your body is still alone?
05:51It never happened.
05:51I was thinking so.
05:52I'm only scared.
05:54I was afraid of him.
05:56You're stupid.
05:57The last night.
05:58The last night.
05:59I was tired.
06:00The last night.
06:01I was tired.
06:02But I was okay.
06:03The last night.
06:03I was very fat.
06:05I'm kind of a quƩ delay.
06:05I was just asleep.
