Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is a modern action-war drama set in the Taliban-controlled Afghan wilderness. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Sergeant John Kinley, a war-hardened soldier whose interpreter had been killed in a car bombing. Seeking a new interpreter, John Kinley reluctantly hires the aid of Ahmed . Ahmed quickly proves his worth when he singlehandedly saves an injured Kinley after a disastrous ambush by the Taliban.
4 Sax - Spain Some forty minutes inland to the northwest of Alicante is the municipality of Sax, a small community shadowed by its eponymous Sax Castle that sits prominently on a hill overlooking the small village. A sandy and remote location with a countryside full of vast, empty acreage of rocky desert made it the perfect set for many of The Covenant's outdoor locations.
