The Outpost

The Outpost (2020) is Rod Lurie's war drama you can watch online on iFILM. Deep in an Afghan valley ringed by three mountains, a handful of U.S. soldiers hold a position nobody should have built.

Combat Outpost Keating sits at the bottom of high ground, where any attacker can simply shoot down into it. Everyone stationed there knows it. In October 2009 the place is hit from every direction at once: roughly four hundred Taliban fighters against the fifty-odd cavalrymen of Bravo Troop. Scott Eastwood, Caleb Landry Jones and Orlando Bloom play men who actually lived this. Some of them did not walk away.

Lurie staged the fight from survivor accounts and Jake Tapper's book, shooting long real-time takes with no heroic posing and no score laid over the gunfire. Two of the men who held Keating earned the Medal of Honor. Stream The Outpost (2020) online on iFILM.
