To extract him from the dangerous, war-torn country, the United Nations enlists the Driver's help to rescue Jacobs, and his precious footage, in a life-or-death mission in the heart of the lawless battle zone. Now, the Driver must rely on his unsurpassed skills and his 2001 BMW E53 X5 3.0i to have a fighting chance of survival. Can they escape from hell and live to tell the tale?—Nick Riganas

This gritty, action short opens with a shot of people being massacred in a cornfield by Columbian terrorists. Harold Jacobs, (Stellan Skarsgård) escapes death, but is wounded by a bullet to the gut. He is next seen in the home of locals who tend to his wound and put him into a car that will take him across the border. A car follows. While traveling the countryside, Harvey reveals to the driver that he is a war photographer who has photographed the atrocities of 15 wars. He laments that people always ask him for help, but all he can do is take their picture. He senses his impending death, unloads the film from his camera and gives the film and his dog tags to the driver (Clive Owens) with a request to get the film to his boss at the New York Times and the dogtags to his mother. At the border, a dispute between border patrol and Harvey takes place, and the driver makes a successful run for the border through a field. Shots are fired with the result that Harvey is killed. The driver fulfills his duty and the film ends with the driver delivering the braille dog tags to Harvey's blind mother.
