12 Strong (2018)

Description

In "12 Strong" a U.S. Special Forces team, led by their new Captain Mitch Nelson (Hemsworth), is sent into Afghanistan for an extremely dangerous mission. There, in the rugged mountains, they must convince a Northern Alliance General to join forces with them to fight their common adversary: the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. In addition to overcoming mutual distrust and a vast cultural divide, the team-accustomed to state-of-the-art warfare-must adopt the rudimentary tactics of the Afghan horse soldiers, combining ancient strategies of calvary warfare with twenty-first-century aerial bombardment technology to perform a seemingly impossible feat. Directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and based on the acclaimed "Horse Soldiers" book by best-selling author Doug Stanton. 12 Strong also stars Michael Pena and Trevante Rhodes. Produced by legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer (tje "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, "Black Hawke Down"), together with Molley Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill ("La La Land", "Scario"). The screen play is written byTad Tully ("The Silence of the Lambs") and Peter Craig ("The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Parts 1 & 2").
