12 Strong is a 2018 American action-war film directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and written by Ted Tally and Peter Craig. The movie is based on Doug Stanton's non-fiction book Horse Soldiers, which recounts the tale of U.S. Army Special Forces deployed to Afghanistan shortly after the September 11 attacks and through the fall of Mazar-i-Sharif. The film features Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbill, Ben O'Toole, William Fichtner, and Rob Riggle. Principal photography commenced in January 2017 in New Mexico. It was issued in the United States on January 19, 2018 by Warner Bros. Pictures in standard and IMAX venues. Critics gave it mixed reviews, commending the acting and combat sequences but faulting its predictable approach and limited perspective on Afghanistan's conflict.
