Lebanon - Levanon (1:34) 2009

The four man crew of an Israeli armored tank are sent to search a town that has been bombed by their Air Force during the 1982 Lebanon War. The soldiers are all young twenty year olds who have never seen action. As they follow orders to drive north, they are shot at and bombed. The crew finds themselves cut off from their forces with a damaged tank and wounded men including a Syrian prisoner. All of this movie was filmed inside the tank. Scenes outside the tank were filmed looking through the periscope, we see only what the crew sees. As time goes on, the young soldiers deal with panic, anxiety, grief, horror and all the emotions associated with war. I liked this movie more than I thought I would. The crew disintegrates emotionally and physically as the events spiral out of their control and made worse by their isolation. It had a Twilight Zone feel to it but I assume how soldiers must feel during action.
