Green Zone (2010)
Based on journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s non-fiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City, Green Zone (2010) is an action thriller directed by Paul Greengrass and written by Brian Helgeland. On March 19, 2003, Iraqi Army General Mohammed Al-Rawi flees his residence during the bombing of Baghdad. Before leaving, he gives a notebook to his aide Seyyed with instructions for his officers to go into hiding and wait for his signal. Four weeks later, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his team search a warehouse for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Despite facing enemy fire, they find nothing- making it the third failed mission in a row. At a debriefing, Miller voices concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the intel provided to him, but is dismissed by higher officials. Later on, CIA Officer Martin Brown informs Miller that their next target had already been inspected by UN teams two months prior and was also found to be empty.
As Zubaidi returns to Iraq, Poundstone of the US Department of Defense greets him at the airport. Lawrie Dayne, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, attempts to speak with ‘Magellan’ (a real-life informant also known as ‘Curveball’), but Poundstone dismisses her. Later, while searching a different location, Miller is approached by an Iraqi named ‘Freddy’ who claims to have information about high-ranking Ba’ath Party members meeting in a nearby house. The group, including Al-Rawi and his associates in Baghdad, are discussing their plans amidst the current situation. Al-Rawi decides to wait for a potential deal from the Americans and will attack if not offered one. As their meeting concludes, Miller’s team raids the house. Although Al-Rawi narrowly escapes, Seyyed is captured.
