Mike Bay’s new film, Code of Valor (2025), is a really intense action movie with crazy fight sequences and super brave moments.

It has a compelling storyline about working side by side with your crew, all set in a desert that has seen some serious battles. The main story revolves around Captain Jake Holt, played by The Rock – think Dwayne Johnson – and Lieutenant Sarah Blake, played by Megan Fox. They are tasked with protecting a very important convoy from attack. The film makes you think about the tough choices, like completing your mission or staying alive, which makes the action all the more compelling because you know it feels real, like something the military would actually have to deal with. Visually, the film is great, with the intense action scenes in the desert looking fantastic. They used real stunts and equipment to make it feel super real.
