Synopsis (Summary):
A Russian billionaire called Markov managed to get himself into a position of power by branding himself as a peacemaker and gained the trust of the world leaders. He manipulated countries into forming an alliance with one another until the world was split into two sides. It wasn't long before a nuclear war broke out and left Markov to control his new world. However, a small group of politicians were weary of Markov's motives and formed a new independent army. This army survived the nuclear war and fight to destroy Markov and his army. One of the soldiers has a secret that is the army's main chance of success. One soldier is known as a loner but is respected by all of the superior officers. 

After the prologue, the film opens to them infiltrating a building that was vital to Markov's success. One of the officers is told to keep guard when they are ambushed by enemy soldiers. It looks as though they have no chance of escape but then they appear to use some sort of power to defeat the enemies.

Back at the base camp, a new officer call Anderson attempts to joins the higher ranks of the army and is allowed to know the secrets of the war. However, his physical statistics aren't high enough. His Sargent Major allows him to speak to the quiet, yet intimidating solider, Yuri (who happens to be the same soldier that used the power in the previous scene). The soldier checks the statistics again and agrees that they are too low but they are shocked by Anderson's high mental statistics so decides to let him join Level 5. It is clear that is very out of character. The conversation is interrupted by the Sargent, who has a strong dislike toward Yuri. He talks to the Sargent Major and discusses his fears about having Yuri at the camp but the Sargent Major is dismissive and refuses to talk about it any further.

The General of the army is visiting the base camp so all of the soldiers are expected to be on their best behaviour. Anderson is picked by the Sargent Major to be a guide for the General along side the Sargent. Everything is going well up until Yuri storms in holding a piece of paper and starts shouting at the Sargent Major and accusing the Sargent of trying to get them to have a leave of absence. The General shouts over them and, to the surprise of Anderson, begins to be pally with Yuri and offer them a drink. The General undermines the Sargent Major and tears up the paper. Anderson begins to realise the power that Yuri has in the army.

Anderson is given a note telling him that all new Level 5 officers must report to the main training area. When he gets there, the Sargent Major is talking with other Level 5 officers and Yuri. The Sargent Major explains how the war really started and how they know this information. They also explain why these details are hidden from other levels. Yuri notices that Anderson is aware of what the Sargent Major is saying and that he already knows it because he is saying it under his breath before the Sargent Major does.
