Movie Info
This tense war film focuses on a group of Israeli soldiers operating a tank in hostile territory during the 1982 conflict in Lebanon. Hindered by tight quarters, limited visibility and stifling heat, the troops inside the tank, including the frustrated Hertzel (Oshri Cohen), begin to quarrel amongst themselves, leaving themselves open to attack by their Lebanese enemies. As their mission -- to clear the area of opposing forces -- progresses, the situation becomes increasingly dire.

das boot in a tank, ultra-realistic. four twenty year old recruits in close confines. well acted. glad Samuel maoz finally wrote the script

You can almost smell and feel the heavy clunks of being inside that tank. A politicly relevant film, told extremely well thanks to the director's experiences on the war. It's fantastic you never feel safe inside that tank...

Fantastic movie, just out of this world. There's not a lot I can really say that will accurately describe the experience and everything you get from this movie, you'll just have to see it for yourself and make your own assessment of it. Plus, I'm sure people on this website have done a better job at reviewing the movie so read their stuff. But again, just an excellent movie, not to be missed.

'Lebanon'. A gritty and visceral look at the war in the 1980s, geniusely directed purely from the viewpoint of a group of soldiers inside one tank, with their scope / viewfinder being the only link to the outside world.
