Camp X-Ray, the movie about Guantanamo Bay starring Kristen Stewart as a military guard at the infamous prison camp, released a brand new trailer this week ahead of its Oct. 17, 2014, release date. This new movie has been wracking up acclaim in the film festival circuit this year, with both Stewart and costar Peyman Moaadi receiving plenty of praise. Check out this brand new trailer to get a hint as to why Camp X-Ray is one of the best films of the year.

Clearly when most of us think of this prison camp, we think of the prisoners and what they did to get there. Labelled as terrorists, they've been occupying their sells for years, so when a young recruit comes in as a new guard she has to hold her own. But Stewart's character forms an unusual bond with one of the prisoners, outlining the plot of the film.

Check out the new trailer for Camp X-Ray right here and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below:

Here is the official synopsis of this new film (via Slash Film):

A young woman joins the military to be part of something bigger than herself and her small town roots. But she ends up as a new guard at Guantanamo Bay instead, where her mission is far from black and white. Surrounded by hostile jihadists and aggressive squadmates, she strikes up an unusual friendship with one of the detainees. A story of two people, on opposite sides of a war, struggling to find their way through the ethical quagmire of Guantanamo Bay. And in the process, they form an unlikely bond that changes them both.
