PLOT OUTLINE:
"Stop-Loss" centers on decorated Iraq War hero Sgt. Brandon King (Ryan Phillippe), a soldier who makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty.
Brandon tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his loving family, and his best friend, Steve (Channing Tatum), who served with Brandon in Iraq.
Then, against Brandon’s will, under the military's "stop-loss" procedure, the Army indefinitely extends his enlistment and forces him back to Iraq. This desvastates Brandon, and sends him to one of the only people he can trust: his childhood friend's fiancée, Michele (Abbie Cornish).
Michele becomes Brandon’s confidante and accomplice as he races across the U.S. – a fugitive from justice in the country he fought to protect – in search of a way out of his predicament.
