5 Days of War

5 Days of War is an action-packed international thriller from acclaimed director Renny Harlin, that sheds light on the complicated politics and danger involved with exposing the truth during wartime. Inspired by the real events of the swift, but devastating, five-day war between Russia and the Georgian Republic in 2008, this vivid, heart-pounding film centers around a renegade American journalist (Rupert Friend of LULLABY FOR PI, THE YOUNG VICTORIA), his cameraman (Richard Coyle of PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME), and a young schoolteacher (Emmanuelle Chriqui of TV's ENTOURAGE) caught in the combat zone during the first Russian airstrikes against Georgia. As the three attempt to escape to safety, they witness the cold-blooded murder of innocent civilians. Attempting to broadcast the footage they've captured while under attack from the Russian soldiers, they are met with resistance from American and international networks who are shorthanded from covering the Bejing Olympics, or simply fatigued by war news. The trio fights to live, and to live to tell the truth.
