The Outpost

A small unit of U.S. soldiers, alone at the remote Combat Outpost Keating, located deep in the valley of three mountains in Afghanistan, battles to defend against an overwhelming force of Taliban fighters in a coordinated attack. The Battle of Kamdesh, as it was known, was the bloodiest American engagement of the Afghan War in 2009 and Bravo Troop 3–61 CAV became one of the most decorated units of the 19-year conflict.

Critic Reviews:

• " A triumph of authenticity, The Outpost is as close to war as you want to get. " – Jack Hawkins

• " As a stark comment on the cost of war it is a powerful and award worthy effort. " – Richard Crouse

• " It's a true-life story, masterfully directed by Rod Lurie who instinctively captures the danger, risks and moments of desperation and humanity of the event. " – Dwight Brown
