During the chaotic final weeks of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as the panicked South Vietnamese people desperately attempt to escape. On the ground, American soldiers and diplomats confront the same moral quandary: whether to obey White House orders to evacuate U.S. citizens only—or to risk punishment and save the lives of as many South Vietnamese citizens as they can. The events recounted in the film mainly center on the US evacuation of Saigon codenamed Operation Frequent Wind.

Le Guêpier est un film révolutionnaire en immersion qui raconte l'histoire, à partir d'images réelles sans précédent, d'un groupe d'élite de soldats américains envovés dans une mission dangereuse au plus profond d'une des vallées les plus hostiles d'Afghanistan. Ce qui devait être au départ une opération d'une journée s'est transformé en neuf jours intenses de combat éprouvant contre un ennemi invisible et hostile sur un terrain difficile où aucune troupe étrangère n'avait osé pénétrer auparavant. Deux journalistes embarqués, un père et son fils ont courageusement suivi les troupes sur le champ de bataille le plus violent et le plus ensanalanté du conflit. Il en résulte une expérience cinématographique brute et intense qui offre au public une vision authentique et émouvante de l'héroïsme au centre de cette histoire captivante.

A middle-aged Indonesian man, whose brother was brutally murdered in the 1965 purge of "communists," confronts the men who carried out the killings. Out of concern for his safety, the man is not fully identified in the film and is credited only as "anonymous," as are many of the film's crew positions. Some shots consist of the man watching (what seems to be) extra footage from The Act of Killing, which includes video of the men who killed his brother. He visits some of the killers and their collaborators—including his uncle—under the pretense of an eye exam. Although none of the killers express any remorse, the daughter of one of them is clearly shaken when she hears, apparently for the first time, the details of the killings.

In 2011, protests against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad turned into a violent conflict between the Syrian government and revolutionaries. As the revolution continues, wealthy Syrian socialite-turned-activist Razan teams up with Syrian-American lobbyist Mouaz to forge a link between the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and the West. However, their goal of a free and democratic Syria is put under strain as the revolution in Syria turns from bad to worse, and Western governments prove reluctant to get involved, despite the growing humanitarian crisis.
