The Ambush
It is the winter of 2018, the men and women of the UAE military are deployed to provide aid. At the Mocha Base, spirits are high as three Emirati soldiers anticipate an imminent return home. While on their final routine patrol, the three soldiers, Ali, Bilal and Hindasi are ambushed by heavily armed militants on their route, through a narrow canyon. Trapped, wounded, and out of communication range, the three soldiers realize the gravity of their situation. They are running out of options, munitions - and time. Back at the base, their commander receives word and realizes that the assault on the UAE army patrol was premeditated. A rescue mission is quickly put into action, but will air and land support reach the men in time, and will they survive?

One of the best war films ever made
I've been watching war movies since i was like 5 with Dad. This one was really good. They should make their trucks able to shoot from like ion case they blow off your top gun. I haven't watched one this powerful in a long time. You feel for these guys. You want them to make it home. Soldiers and what they go thru, regardless the war are their own breed. Half tracks would be good on the ground there. You want these guys saved. The Calvary comes then they get pinned down. They sent in the Apaches, the Huey's of Nam. The music was good too. It was so emotional i bawled at the end. Very powerful, very good. - weracigg - 4 January 2022
Fake propaganda claimed to be based on a true story
Once again, the UAE uses its oil money to produce political propaganda. They're should be a law that forbids movie makers from using the statement "Based on true story" when the movie has 1% true events and the rest is made up. The movie shows the UAE as a hero country that went to save the people of Yemen from "terrorists" and the UAE army falling in an ambush due to betrayal. When the reality is, the UAE army was sent to overtake control on oil and gas fields in addition to sea ports, and to invade the island of Socotra. Movies are made for entertainment and documenting events. Not to spread false information for your government's political gain.
