I Am Soldier follows Mickey Tomlinson (Tom Hughes), a military chef, who attempts the most dangerous military selection known to man: The Special Air Service (S.A.S.) selection. The S.A.S. Is the United Kingdoms most renowned Special Forces Regiment, tasked with life-threatening missions in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. Mickey has more military experience than simply being a chef, something he doesnt let on to the other candidates - Mickey is smashed by this selection process - his mind, body and soul scream for mercy as he endures torturous speed-marches over the steepest mountains, running for his life during Escape and Evasion and then facing the most evil interrogation possible, during the deadly phase known as: Tactical Questioning. Even after everything, there is still only one way you can really prove yourself: in combat - Many try to get into the S.A.S. Only the elite make it.
