Sicario

The drug war has dominated the border area between Arizona and Mexico for years. After the idealistic FBI agent Kate Macy makes a gruesome discovery in a drug cartel's hideout, she volunteers for an international task force to hunt down the masterminds. Her first mission takes Kate directly into the contested border region, where a routine prisoner transfer quickly turns into a dangerous ambush. Only with the help of the equally ruthless and battle-hardened mercenary Alejandro can she escape. During the next covert operation, she encounters Alejandro again, who, like her, is part of a special unit. However, it soon becomes clear that he, along with other allies, has his own agenda. Kate's moral convictions are put to a severe test as the lines between good and evil increasingly blur throughout the operation.
