Chris Pratt battles a conspiracy — and his own brain — in The Terminal List teaser trailer

In Amazon Prime Video's new conspiracy-thriller show The Terminal List, Chris Pratt plays a Navy SEAL named James Reece whose platoon is wiped out when a mission goes disastrously awry. After returning to the U.S., James' memory of events is contradicted by evidence the military presents to him.
"It's a psychological action-thriller that leaves you guessing whether or not a person is dealing with reality," says filmmaker Antoine Fuqua (the man behind Training Day, the Pratt-starring remake of The Magnificent Seven), who directed the pilot. "He has to not only navigate his way through the conspiracy of what's happening to him in real life, but what's happening in his mind."
Pratt's costars include Riley Keough, who plays Reece's wife, Lauren, and Friday Night Lights alum Taylor Kitsch, who portrays a former Navy SEAL and Reece's closest friend, Ben.
"Ben is with James every step of the way as he tries [to] understand what happened on that mission," says writer and executive producer David DiGilio. "Taylor was excited to move back into the arena he had explored in Lone Survivor, but to do it with a brand-new type of character. [Ben is] a guy who had moved out of SEALs into the black side of operations and who might use some less-than-above-board tactics to help his friend."

The cast also includes Jeanne Tripplehorn, Pratt's brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Constance Wu, who plays journalist Katie Buranek.
"Katie Buranek is a character who is near and dear to the author Jack Carr and to myself," DiGilio tells EW. "My mom's actually a reporter and editor in D.C., and I have always wanted to explore a character in this world. We live in a time when it is becoming harder and harder to understand the nature of truth, and Constance, I think, gravitated towards this character because of that."
The show's pilot opens with an intense fire fight set in a network of subterranean tunnels. "That was quite a task," says the director, who executive produces The Terminal List alongside DiGilio. "We had to build all that on the Paramount lot, and it was full of water and all that kind of stuff. Outside of Chris, a lot of those guys in the tunnel were [real] Navy SEALs. It was exciting to see how they move and behave."
The Terminal List premieres July 1 on Amazon Prime Video. Watch the show's new teaser trailer below.
