In theaters October 17. Starring Kristen Stewart and Peyman Maadi.
A young woman joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small town roots. But she ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay instead, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees. A story of two people, on opposite sides of a war, struggling to find their way through the ethical quagmire of Guantanamo Bay. And in the process, they form an unlikely bond that changes them both.

As per Huffington Post
Kristen Stewart won her fair share of rave reviews when "Camp X-Ray" premiered at Sundance in January. It's the closest she's come to an Oscar bid, even if her chances of securing a nomination aren't likely. In a role that was originally written for a man, Stewart plays a Guantanamo Bay guard who forms an unlikely connection to a detainee ("A Separation" star Peyman Moaadi). We don't want to speak too soon, but with this, the Cannes success story "Clouds of Sils Maria" and next year's "American Ultra," maybe we aren't in Forks anymore after all. "Camp X-Ray" opens Oct. 17.
