Action Drama
This gripping wartime drama is based on true events that took place during the 1973 Yom Kippur war, one of Israel’s most traumatic battles. When a desolate Israeli outpost in the Sinai desert comes under siege after a surprise Egyptian attack, the unit tries desperately to defend their position with the scant resources they have at hand. But outmanned and outgunned, and pummeled by ceaseless assaults, they face imminent doom. With lives hanging by a thread, the unit’s young and idealistic commander, and the army doctor who is stationed with the unit confront a soul-shattering choice: a desperate, and likely hopeless last stand, or a perilous gamble that could betray everything they stand for.
