Lebanon is a 2009 Israeli war film directed by Samuel Maoz. The movie takes place during the First Lebanon War in 1982 and follows a group of Israeli soldiers inside a tank. The entire film is shot from inside the tank, giving the audience a claustrophobic and intense experience.
The soldiers, who are young and inexperienced, face moral dilemmas and the horrors of war as they navigate through the hostile Lebanese territory. The tank becomes a microcosm of the larger conflict, with tensions rising among the crew members as they struggle to survive.
Lebanon has been praised for its unique storytelling and realistic portrayal of war. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The film offers a harrowing look at the psychological toll of war and the dehumanizing effects it has on those involved.
