Stay Forte is a harrowing drama that captures the ordeal of three Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The film is based on the true stories of Alon Shamiriz, Yotam Haim, and Samer Talalkam who were abducted during the October 7 attacks and tragically killed in an incident of friendly fire. The film stars Shahar Tavoch, Tomer Machloof, Wael Hamdun as well as American actors Judd Hirsch and Selma Blair. It captures with startling immediacy, the claustrophobia, fear, and fierce will to survive inside Gaza's tunnels.
