Overview
The Ambush is a 2021 action, war, and drama film directed and produced within the United Arab Emirates. The film is an Arabic-language feature production starring Marwan Abdulla Saleh, Khalifa Al Jassem, and Mohammed Ahmed, with all leads being Emirati, and was shot entirely in the UAE. Set in the winter of 2018, the story follows members of the UAE military who are deployed to provide aid. At the Mocha Base, spirits are high as three Emirati soldiers anticipate an imminent return home. While on their final routine patrol, the three soldiers, named Ali, Bilal, and Hindasi, are ambushed by heavily armed militants on their route through a narrow canyon. Trapped, wounded, and out of communication range, the three soldiers realize the gravity of their situation as they run out of options, munitions, and time. Back at the base, their commander receives word of the assault.
