Thousand Yard Stare (2018) is a Canadian indie film about an American soldier who fights in World War II. Roland Rothach is a lantern-jawed sergeant in the Big Red One, but a bad day at the Kasserine Pass has changed his life forever. Three different story threads from three different periods are intercut. As one might deduce from the title, the theme of the story involves a Shell-Shocked Veteran.

A Father to His Men: possibly played with. The audience is probably supposed to presume this relationship to be the cause of Roland's survivor's guilt, but there is so little dialogue and characterization that the audience never really detects any bond between them.

Artistic License – Military: And how. When Roland is captured, for just one example. For some reason two German pilots tie him up and cart him off across the countryside, then when they reunite with their ground forces, Roland is tied up in a tent like Indiana Jones instead of being turned over to the German military police or put in a POW cage.

Anachronic Order: Three timelines run concurrently. Roland begins the movie trying to exorcise his demons by writing about the war. The film flashes back and forth, to scenes before, during, and after the battle at Kasserine Pass, jumping around in the sequence of events for dramatic effect.
