12 Strong 2018 | R | 2h 9m | Movies Based on Real Life Following 9/11, a dozen US soldiers mount up on horseback in Afghanistan to help a local warlord take on a mutual enemy. Inspired by true events.
Twelve members of the U.S. Army Special Forces ODA 595 were given the mission to capture Mazar-i-Sharif. The mission by the Horse Soldiers and their counterparts is one of the US military’s most stunning achievements. Military planners predicted it would take two years. Task Force Dagger did it in three weeks. Al Qaeda considers this to be their worst defeat. Because their mission was classified, the men of Special Forces ODA 595 returned home to their everyday lives with no fanfare or public acknowledgment of the near impossible mission they completed.
This is the true story of the last US Army Cavalry Charge.
