Director: Steven C. Miller
Under Fire is a 2025 American war drama directed by Steven C. Miller, set during the final months of the Somoza government in Nicaragua and the 1979 revolution that ended it. Running 128 minutes, the film follows three foreign journalists whose professional and personal lives become entangled while they cover the conflict.
What is Under Fire about?
The story places three war correspondents in Nicaragua during 1979, as the country moves through the closing period of the Somoza era. Working within the same press circles, the reporters find their assignments overlapping with their private lives, and a romantic entanglement forms among them just as the situation around them grows more dangerous. Their coverage carries them between government-held areas and zones affected by the uprising, where access, sources, and personal loyalties each carry risk. The film tracks how the three weigh the demands of the story against the people they have come to trust, and how the strain of reporting from a country in transition tests both their judgment and their bonds with one another.
Cast & crew
The cast is led by Dylan Sprouse and Mason Gooding as two of the journalists, with Odette Annable completing the central trio. The ensemble also features Bayardo De Murguia, Emilio Rivera, Declan Michael Laird, and Austin North in supporting roles. Steven C. Miller directs the United States production.
Context & significance
The film is set during the 1979 Nicaraguan Revolution, the period in which the long-running Somoza administration was replaced following a popular uprising. Foreign journalists were a visible presence during these events, and Under Fire uses that reporting context as its backdrop rather than following the perspective of any single faction. The picture is a 2025 release classified as drama and war, with a runtime of 128 minutes, and it holds a 7.0 rating on IMDb. As a period piece, it reconstructs the look and pace of late-1970s Central America, framing the conflict through the working routine of press correspondents: filing stories, securing access, and moving between contested areas.
