Special Forces
Survival. Honor. Sacrifice.
Directed by Stéphane Rybojad
Produced by Sofica Manon, Easy Company
A tense, visceral war-zone rescue thriller that binds a journalist and soldiers through shared danger and mutual dependence across hostile terrain.
Afghanistan. War correspondent Elsa Casanova is taken hostage by the Taliban. Faced with her imminent execution, a Special Forces unit is dispatched to free her. In some of the world’s most breathtaking yet hostile landscapes, a relentless pursuit begins between her kidnappers who have no intention of letting their prey escape them and a group of soldiers who risk their lives in pursuit of their single aim – to bring her home alive. This strong, independent woman and these men of duty are thrown together and forced to confront situations of great danger that inextricably bind them – emotionally, violently and intimately.
