Lebanon
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski
The film depicts warfare as witnessed exclusively from the inside of a Centurion (tank) main battle tank. The crew's window to the outside world is a Sight (device). As a way of adding realism to the effect, every change in the horizontal and vertical viewing directions is accompanied by the hydraulic whine of the traversing gun turret. The film is set during the 1982 Lebanon War. There are four Israeli soldiers inside: the driver in the tank's hull, the loader, the gunner and the commander in the turret. For part of the time there is also the body of a dead Israeli soldier (kept there until it is airlifted away), a Syrian Prisoner of war, a visiting higher officer, and a visiting Kataeb Party (Lebanese Maronite Christians allied with Israel) who threatens the POW with torture and a gruesome death.
