In September 2006, a 3 man patrol of Paras sets off from their outpost overlooking Kajaki Dam in southern Afghanistan, to engage the Taliban. As they make their way across a dried out river bed one of them steps on a mine left from the Russian occupation some 25 years before. His colleagues rush to his aid only to find they are surrounded by mines and every move threatens serious injury or death. 　　　　　　揭示英军在2006年一次在阿富汗的拯救任务中，犯下大错，无视军人的警告，误触地雷，以致伤亡惨重。 　　　　　　27岁的英军下士怀特(Mark Wright)，当年在阿富汗的卡贾基水库(Kajaki dam)附近与2名伞兵执行任务，任务途中受困于一个没在地图上出现的地雷阵，3人身受重伤，便向军方求援。 　　　　　　由于直升机降落时的下沉气流可能引爆地雷，要求派出有绞盘的直升机吊起伤者，不要尝试降落。然而，军方接报后，派出没有绞盘的奇努克直升机(Chinook)救援，结果引爆地雷，怀特被炸死，多名伞兵亦因而受伤。最后，军方花多了6小时，才派出有绞盘的美国黑鹰直升机救人。
