Lebanon is a 2009 Israeli war drama directed by Samuel Maoz. Filmed almost entirely inside a single tank during the 1982 Lebanon War, it follows four young soldiers as they confront bombardment, fear, and moral ambiguity. Real-time, claustrophobic sequences, stark cinematography, and restrained dialogue strip away cinematic spectacle to reveal the fragility and humanity of those trapped inside the turret, where duty clashes with doubt.
