Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway are set to star in Alone at Dawn, a war drama directed by Ron Howard for Amazon MGM. The film takes its inspiration from the book that shares its name, penned by Lori Chapman Longfritz and Dan Schilling.

Alone at Dawn is based on the 2019 book of the same name and is inspired by the true story of Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman (Driver) who was part of a SEAL Team Six mission during the war in Afghanistan in which helicopters were downed; he saved his comrades while sustaining multiple wounds and was inadvertently left for dead. During the night, Chapman came to and not only engaged in more fighting, despite being mortally wounded, he then fought more attackers when another U.S. chopper flew into the area. His actions saved numerous lives and years later, a movement began to award him a Medal of Honor. When a different branch of the military tries to quash the request (as it would have been admitting that the soldier had been left behind) eventually his Air Force Cross was upgraded with the honor, thanks to the efforts of an intelligence officer (Hathaway).

A release date has not yet been announced.
