10 Reveals From Our '12 Strong' Set Visit1 of 10
Structurally, 12 Strong is an old-school war movie set in the wake of 9/11
The story of 12 Strong centers on a team of U.S. Special Forces troops who were the first people sent to Afghanistan after the World Trade Center tragedy. Situated in the country's mountain terrain, the troops forego relying on state-of-the-art warfare and instead enter into a shaky alliance with Afghani horse soldiers on a mission to take down branches of the Taliban army and their al-Qaida allies. As a viewer, prepare more for horses and rifles instead of drones and missiles. The best-selling book "Horse Soldiers" by Doug Stanton serves as the movie's source material.
