Filmmaker Peter Berg and actor and producer Mark Wahlberg have quite the bff working relationship. Having collaborated on three films so far, including “Lone Survivor,” “Deepwater Horizon,” and “Patriots Day,” he creative duo’s fourth collaboration will be the action thriller “Mile 22.”

“I’ve been able to make a lot of different movies in a lot of different genres,” Wahlberg announced to audiences at CinemaCon last year, “and I still don’t feel like I have the movie role that really kind of defines ‘me.’ When I say me and my body of work, I’m really hoping this is the thing. I’m hoping the first thing you think of when you think Mark Wahlberg is ‘Mile 22.’”

Berg and Wahlberg stated that they plan on making “Mile 22” the first entry of a trilogy. All three of their previous collaborations have been action dramas based on real-life events. Berg stated that he hopes “Mile 22,” Berg and Wahlberg’s first fiction, will be “an intelligent, adult action film that’s got a lot of muscle and intensity.” Read the official synopsis below.

In this heart-racing action thriller, a CIA agent stationed in Indonesia is tasked with transporting an informant whose identity has been discovered, from the center of the city to an awaiting getaway plane at an airport 22 miles away. While en route, they must battle corrupt police, criminal overlords and heavily-armed locals, all hell-bent on taking them out before they reach their plane.

“Mile 22” is written by “Jack Ryan” scribe Graham Roland and Lea Carpenter. It co-stars Lauren Cohan, Ronda Rousey, John Malkovich, and Iko Uwais. Principal photography began in November in Atlanta, Georgia, and continued through February in Bogota, Colombia.



STX Entertainment will release “Mile 22” in theaters on July 20, 2018.
