I Am Soldier is a 2014 British action thriller film directed by Ronnie Thompson and starring Tom Hughes, Noel Clarke and Alex Reid. The film follows a military chef, who attempts the Special Air Service (SAS) selection.[2][3][4]
Plot
Mickey Tomlinson (Tom Hughes), a military chef, who attempts the Special Air Service (SAS) selection. The SAS is the United Kingdom's most renowned Special Forces Regiment, tasked with life-threatening missions in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. Mickey passes himself off as a weak chef to the other candidates, but it is fairly obvious he is hiding some type of military experience. During his attempt to join the SAS, he meets up with comrade, JJ (George Russo), who is attempting the test for the second time. Since you're only allowed two attempts, this will be his last
Along the way, the pair are grilled, pushed and encouraged through the intent test by an experienced SAS leader, Carter (Noel Clarke). They also encounter Dawn (Alex Reid), who happens to be a female member of the elite operations unit. Throughout their test, they face physical challenges, which would leave a normal civilian moaning and crying. Of course, the mental test is even more trying. Only a handful of the candidates will make it to the final portion of the test, The Escape and Evasion, which requires candidates to journey out into the snowy wilderness and escape their would-be captors. If they're caught....when they're caught, they'll be dragged inside, tortured and questioned. This grueling process will test the willpower of each.
When the test has met its conclusion, only a handful of souls will pass the Tactical Questioning finale and be offered a spot within the SAS.
