The Angel Of Death Plane In Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant Explained

A notorious gunship known as the “Angel of Death” features prominently in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, which has been aiding the US Military for decades. At the ending of The Covenant, when all hope seems lost for Master Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the interpreter he’s risked his life to bring back to the United States, the gunship ends up being the deus ex machina that saves the day. After navigating the inhospitable terrain of Afghanistan and other central locations in The Covenant, the pair wind up at the Darunta Dam waiting for backup which nearly doesn’t arrive.
