MGM shared a trailer for the new war drama ‘The Covenant,’ featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim and written by Guy Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies.

‘The Covenant’ centers on the bond between John Kinley (Gyllenhall), a U.S. Army sergeant, and Ahmed (Salim), an Afghan interpreter. An official description of the film reads: “After an ambush, Ahmed goes to Herculean lengths to save Kinley’s life. When Kinley learns that Ahmed and his family were not given safe passage to America as promised, he must repay his debt by returning to the war zone to retrieve them before the Taliban hunts them down first.”

The Covenant is directed by Guy Ritchie, and also stars Antony Starr, Alexander Ludwig, Bobby Schofield, Emily Beecham and Jonny Lee Miller. The film opens in theaters April 21; you can take a look at the trailer – here.
