‘Sand Castle’ Exclusive Clip: Nicholas Hoult and Henry Cavill Are Soliders in Netflix War Drama — Watch
Nicholas Hoult is getting pretty good at playing War Boys, though in Netflix’s war drama “Sand Castle,” there’s more introspection and less flame-throwing guitars than anything we saw in “Mad Max: Fury Road.”
Set in Iraq in 2003, the film follows a group of American soldiers during the early days of the second Gulf War. They are sent to the outskirts of Baqubah to repair a water pumping station that was damaged by U.S. bombs. The soldiers soon learn that winning the hearts and mind of the angry and resentful locals is a task fraught with danger.

“Sand Castle” will premiere on Netflix on April 21. Check out our exclusive clip below.
