Set during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the conflict that led to the creation of the state of Israel, this landmark Israeli film is among the first features from that country to draw an international audience. Four soldiers of fortune—a Palestinian, an Irishman, an American and a Yemenite—have aligned themselves with the Jewish forces. As the group tries to maintain control of a key stronghold outside of Jerusalem, known as Hill 24, each character relates his reason for joining the fight.

The anguished birth of the troubled state of Israel is movingly chronicled in a tough honest drama about street fighting in Jerusalem. Brilliantly photographed in the actual locale. Go to Full Review

Finn W Mar 13, 2017 It is interesting to see, in today's eyes, a pro-Israeli movie made by a British director. Not something that would happen today, I guess. It shows how the grasp of history can change along time and I like the movie for that. Other then that, the movie has the down sides of a very stereotypical casting, very stereotypical ideas, and some bad acting! See more
