The Covenant is written by Guy Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies and directed by Ritchie.
The film centers on the bond between John Kinley (Gyllenhall), a U.S. Army sergeant, and Ahmed (Salim), an Afghan interpreter.
"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," an official description reads.
Antony Starr, Alexander Ludwig, Bobby Schofield, Emily Beecham and Jonny Lee Miller also star.
The Covenant opens in theaters April 21.
