Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT From Das Boot to Saving Private Ryan, some of the best war movies ever made focus on the camaraderie between soldiers and the tight emotional bonds formed on the battlefield. War is typically one of the bleakest genres of cinema, bringing the horrors of warfare to life in visceral, intense, eye-opening fashion. But war films aren’t completely without hope.
9 Lone Survivor Despite spoiling its ending in the title, Peter Berg’s Lone Survivor is one of the most thrilling cinematic depictions of the war in Afghanistan. The film dramatizes a failed Navy SEALs mission dubbed “Operation Red Wings,” in which a four-man SEAL team was sent to track down Taliban leader Ahmad Shah and encountered deadly obstacles along the way. The story is told through the eyes of Marcus Luttrell, adapted from his own eyewitness accounts in his memoir of the same name.
7 Fury David Ayer used extensive research and discussions with military veterans in his own family to get the soldiers’ camaraderie just right in Fury. The crew members of the titular M4 Sherman tank have become thick as thieves since they’ve had to spend months together hunkered down in a big, metal war machine. Ayer’s star-studded ensemble cast brought the crew’s dynamic to life, sharing the same sense of brotherhood off-screen.
5 Black Hawk Down Ridley Scott delivered one of the most shockingly intense depictions of warfare in Black Hawk Down. The movie revolves around the crew of a Black Hawk helicopter getting shot down right in the heat of the Battle of Mogadishu. Surrounded by enemy combatants who have put up roadblocks to keep their backup from getting to them, the survivors have no one to rely on but each other. Scott opens the film with an ominous epigraph: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.
