Synopsis
"A true soldier never leaves the battlefield."
Acclaimed British actor and BAFTA-nominee Toby Kebbell (PRINCE OF
PERSIA, CONTROL) stars as the perfect anti-hero in his latest
gritty, hard-hitting movie THE VETERAN.
Based in a London sink-estate, THE VETERAN tells the story of a
young soldier returning from Afghanistan. Having experienced the
hell of active combat, Robert Miller (Toby Kebbell) is flung back
into society, suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Targeted as an undercover surveillance operative to monitor
suspected terrorists in Britain, Miller soon becomes obsessed with
saving Alayna, a young Anglo-Asian woman from a group of fanatics.
Realising the link between the war on terror and the war on drugs,
from the soldiers on the front line to the drug dealers on the
streets, Miller gradually becomes consumed by this dangerous
underworld and his quest for justice - with devastating
consequences.
Joining Kebbell in the cast line-up are award-winning British hip
hop/grime artist Ashley “Bashy” Thomas (4.3.2.1, SHANK),
up-and-coming young Israeli actress Adi Bielski, Tony Curran (THE
ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN), Tom Brooke (THE
BOAT THAT ROCKED, THE YOUNG VICTORIA) and Emmy and BAFTA
Award-winner and Golden Globe nominee Brian Cox (THE BOURNE
IDENTITY, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, X-MEN 2).
Written and directed by Matthew Hope (THE VANGUARD).
