DUBAI: The UAE’s Image Nation Abu Dhabi on Monday dropped the official trailer for Emirati action movie “Al-Kameen” (“The Ambush”), directed by French filmmaker Pierre Morel.
The flick tells the story of a UAE army vehicle ambushed by enemy combatants while travelling through a narrow canyon. Following the attack by the armed militants, the trapped soldiers’ courageous unit commander attempts a daring mission to rescue them.
“Al-Kameen,” based on a true story, is scheduled for release on Nov. 25 in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.
The movie, co-produced by Image Nation Abu Dhabi and AGC International, boasts an all-Emirati cast including stars Marwan Abdullah Saleh, Khalifa Albhri, Khalifa Al-Jassem, and Mohammed Ahmed.
Shot in the UAE, the film has been written by Brandon Birtell (“Furious 7”) and Kurtis Birtell (“Medal of Honor”), along with soldiers who were involved in the ambush situation that inspired the plot.
Recently, the entertainment company released a 40-second teaser video to promote the film and its trailer.
