Michael Bay’s Iran film

Bay discovered the story while looking for a new project, and it was still fresh in many people’s minds. Just a month after President Trump initiated Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. military successfully rescued a downed pilot in a daring operation in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. Following the shoot-down, Iran began searching for American hostages to display publicly, while the U.S. conducted an impressive and successful extraction, bringing both the pilot and the weapons systems officer safely back from behind enemy lines. The event received widespread international attention.
