The crew of a medical helicopter suffers an accident when helping a joint force of USA and United Nations troops under Spanish command in Afghanistan. The Spanish army has only one night to organize the rescue of the crew and the injured, but what seems routine turns into hell once they receive the order to rescue the helicopter as well. Things only get worse when during the night a huge concentration of Talibans begin to surround them. Rescue Under Fire is inspired by real events that happened in August 2012 north of Bala Murghab in Afghanistan. (Cinemax)

The Spanish have presented the viewer with a very decent premise, which is somewhat confusing just as it tends to be in Spanish movies, but it doesn’t spoil the overall impression. It’s a high-quality war action with amazing shots of military air tech. They also showcased American temperament in a way that felt believable to me. I thought it was great. The final shots proving the story is based on real-life events are also a proof that this film has its rightful place in the genre. I really appreciated the Spanish production. It’s a welcome change from the usual war cinematography.
