***SPOILERS*** We get the story straight from the horse's mouth in the only survivor of the US Army's combat unit Spc. Jeff Keller, Shane West, as he's being debriefed by his battalion commanding officer Lt. Col. Arson, J.K Simmons, Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan. The story Keller tells is so fantastic that it's suspected by Lt. Col. Simmons and those in the debriefing room that he had lost his mind in being out in the brutal Afghan sun, after making his way back to civilization, for the last three days.
Sent out in the Afghan desert to heck out a secret El-Qeada and Taliban supply route Spc.Keller and a squad of US Army troopers lead my Sgt. Marcus Houston, Leonard Roberts, somehow got themselves lost and had their radio communication system damaged. It's later the we and the Army Rangers realize that this was the work of a Genie, or Dijnni in Arabic, that was released when one of the troops Chaud Davies, Brendan Miller,took target practice at an ancient monument smashing it to pieces. This in fact released the Genie that was to eventually turn the rangers on each other until they all did themselves in.
The film "Red Sands" moves at a snails pace with the troopers slowly going wacko as they, without communication to the outside world, start to realize that they've got themselves lost in the desert. It's when they find this Afghan woman, Marcedes Manson, hidden inside a deserted house that things really start to pick up in the movie.
***MAJOR SPOILER*** As it turns out the Afghan woman is the evil spirit, or Dijnni, that Cpl. Davies released when he destroyed the ancient monument and she, or it, would soon turns the screws on the unsuspecting US soldiers. It takes a while for the soldiers to realize what's happening but by the time they do it will be too late for them. The genie or Dijnni has been let out of the bottle and they only way it will get back inside is when all those responsible in letting it out are dead! And that by the way includes Spc.Keller who as we see when the movie ends is not who we, as well as Lt. Col. Simmons, think who he is!
