Production[edit]
This film cost RM20 million making it one of the most expensive films in Malaysia and an action film with the most expensive budget in line with the Malaysian animated film, Upin & Ipin: The Lone Gibbon Kris.
Adrian said that he had started this project after the completion of the filming of PASKAL: The Movie when he met with the late Major (B) Abd Aziz to tell about that night when their team went into the field despite facing many challenges to save the American soldiers[4]. According to Adrian, this film was inspired by the American film, Black Hawk Down directed by Ridley Scott, where he studied himself and realized that the film did not show the real storyline when it did not show the scenes of Malaysian soldiers going into the field.
During the film shooting in Turkey, they faced multiple difficulties such as slow progress and once, being prohibited by the Turkish government from filming due to the locals confusing their props, assets and explosions as an ongoing war.[5]
This film is the first Malaysian film to be screened in IMAX format and according to Adrian, the Digital Cinema Package (DCP) will be upgraded to IMAX 6-Track format in accordance with the location of IMAX in Malaysia.[6][7]
