Triple-bill of war features. 'Lebanon' (2009), directed by Samuel Maoz, depicts 24 hours in the life of four Israeli paratroopers at the outset of the 1982 Lebanon invasion. Shot almost entirely from inside the tank in which they are travelling, the film follows the soldiers as they attempt to clear an area of hostile fighters while suffering from the multiple stresses of combat. Yoav Donat, Itay Tiran, Oshri Cohen and Michael Moshonov star. 'Saints and Soldiers' (2003) is set in Belgium in December 1944, where German troops open fire on unarmed American prisoners of war in what would be dubbed the Malmedy Massacre. A stranded R.A.F. pilot, Oberon Winley (Kirby Heyborne), holds the key to German intelligence which could prevent further atrocities, but can the Americans help free him from his perilous position behind enemy lines? 'Assault On the Pacific: Kamikaze' (2007) is a Japanese World War II drama about a squadron of Kamikaze pilots fighting in the Pacific. The film follows the training and final moments in the lives of the young pilots as they bid farewell to their families and girlfriends and prepare to embark on their suicidal missions against the US Navy over the Pacific Ocean. Toru Emori and Katsutaka Furuhata star.
December 1944. The German army rampages through the frozen wastes of Belgium's Ardennes Forest. Among the many Allied prisoners taken en route, a small band of American soldiers manages to escape. Without weapons and without food, ravaged by the cold, the men are determined to make it back to their own frontline...but as their perilous journey takes its toll, loyalties become divided and lives hang in the balance. A mesmerising, hallucinatory journey through the hellish landscape of war-ravaged Europe, based on real life events, Saints & Soldiers tells the story of ordinary men and the mission that made them heroes.
