Netflix's 'Sand Castle' Trailer Sends Nicholas Hoult & Henry Cavill to Iraq War

You can tell Nicholas Hoult's Private Matt Ocre is not one of those gung ho soldiers just seconds into the "Sand Castle" trailer. He smashes his own hand in a door, over and over, with the hope of having an injury bad enough to keep him from combat in Iraq. It does not work.

The new Netflix original movie, co-starring Henry Cavill, Glen Powell, and Logan Marshall-Green, arrives on Netflix April 21.

Here's the synopsis:

"Set in Iraq in 2003, 'Sand Castle' follows a group of American soldiers in the early days of the second Gulf War. Bearing witness to the heat and the horror is the inexperienced Private Matt Ocre (Nicholas Hoult), who, together with several fellow soldiers, is ordered to the outskirts of Baqubah to repair a water pumping station damaged by U.S. bombs. But, as Ocre discovers, in an atmosphere where resentment and anger fester, trying to win the hearts and minds of the locals is a task fraught with danger. It's here, in the streets, squares and schools that he discovers the true cost of war."
