’12 Strong’ Set Visit: A Post-9/11 War Drama That is More Relevant Than Ever
Posted on Friday, October 20th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
Warner Bros. Pictures has a new war drama called 12: Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers coming to theaters in January of 2018. Formerly known as Horse Soldiers, the film follows a team of U.S. Special Forces soldiers sent into Afghanistan almost immediately after the attacks of 9/11 on a mission to track down a network of terrorists. But in order to get the job done, they must form a surprising alliance during a difficult time, one that is more relevant than ever during today’s times of political and cultural strife.
On February 7, 2017, /Film was invited to visit the set of 12 Strong during production in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Find out what we learned about the film and the true story at the center of it in our full 12 Strong movie set visit report below. Read More »
