The Big Picture Films about wars have existed as long as cinema itself; sadly, as distressing as real life events can be, they do have a way of inspiring filmmakers to create compelling dramatic stories. While there have been a significant amount of films focused on the World War II era and the Vietnam conflict, there are several smaller arenas of battle that have received significantly less attention.
'71 RActionWarDrama In 1971, a young and disoriented British soldier is accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the deadly streets of Belfast.

‘71’ Delivers an Immersive Historical Thriller Close The opening outbreak of chaos between the Irish protestors and the British Army is most certainly the film’s most impressive set piece, but '71 turns into a psychological thriller once Gary is forced to go on the run.
