    • Synopsis
    • Soldier ROBERT MILLER returns home from Afghanistan only to find himself unable to fit back
      into society. He’s offered a job in the clandestine surveillance of suspected terrorists and
      becomes obsessed with saving a young Anglo‐Asian woman from a group of fanatics. When
      his plan to assassinate the fanatics is sabotaged by the security services, who have their own
      hidden agenda, his rage spirals out of control with bloody consequences.
      Matthew Hope’s THE VETERAN is a story about a man making a stand against those he now
      sees as the enemy and protecting the woman with whom he is in love. Similar themes run
      through this as they did in “Taxi Driver” and “The Conversation”. The violence is real and
      brutal, reminiscent of “Munich” and “Heat”.
      THE VETERAN is co written by former SAS specialist Robert Craft who spent 20 years serving
      his country.
