In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, The Stronghold delivers a heart-pounding and viscerally convincing portrayal of an Israeli army outpost on the Suez Canal. As 42 soldiers endure relentless assaults, a young lieutenant and an army doctor face an agonizing choice: make a desperate last stand or gamble everything they believe in. Featuring an outstanding performance from Israeli superstar Michael Aloni (Shtisel). The Stronghold not only captivates us with its gripping battle sequences but also serves as a poignant reminder of the soldiers we lost, and more importantly, who they were as human beings.
