Story: Es ist Krieg! Die Erde und der Fortbestand der Menschheit sind bedroht. Die Feinde tragen futuristische Rüstungen, darunter sind sie grau und nicht besonders hübsch. Sie kommen irgendwo aus dem All und tun nur das, was wir vermutlich auch tun würden. Sie haben ihre eigene Welt ruiniert und nun brauchen sie eine neue. Planet Erde passt, seine menschlichen Bewohner leider nicht. Von der ganzen Dimension des Angriffs ahnen die wenigen Menschen, die in der australischen Provinz den Invasoren entkommen können, nichts. Abgeschnitten von aller Kommunikation muss sich ein zusammengewürfelter Haufen von Zivilisten unterschiedlichster Herkunft erstmal zusammenraufen. Denn trotz aller nun folgenden heftigen Gefechte, Schießereien, Schlägereien und Verfolgungsjagden hat OCCUPATION vor allem eine Botschaft: Nur gemeinsam sind wir stark! Es geht um menschliche Tapferkeit und Solidarität, die Verbundenheit mit Nachbarn, Freunden und Familie und den Wunsch, in Frieden und Freiheit zu leben. Das Szenario ist kriegerisch, die Message human, die Story voll packender Action. So muss gut gemachte Science Fiction sein!

In this episode of the Mandatory Fun podcast, the crew discusses what military movies veterans need to see in 2018. Since all veterans have their own idea of what makes a good military movie, Blake, Tim, and even the new WATM contributor, Sean chime in what they think makes a solid war film. Is having a war film base on a true story more important than having epic explosions? Or a movie where the real heroes of the day play themselves make for a better cinematic experience? 1. 12 Strong Directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, the film chronicles one of the first Special Forces teams to deploy to Afghanistan after the attacks on 9/11. The SF team joins forces with the Afghan resistance and rides into battle against the Taliban on horseback. 12 Strong brilliantly captures how difficult it is for ground troops to work and fight alongside Afghan freedom fighters against the insurgents due to the language and cultural barrier. The film stars WATM friend Rob Riggle, Chris Hemsworth, Michael Pena, and Michael Shannon. 2. The 15:17 to Paris Directed by Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, the film focuses on the American soldiers who discover a terrorist plot on a train headed to Paris. Interesting enough, the three Americans who thwarted a terrorist attack play themselves in the film alongside actress Jenna Fischer — and we like Jenna Fischer.  3. Tough As They Come Starring and directed by Hollywood legend, Sylvester Stallone, the film tracks Travis Mills (played by Marine veteran Adam Driver), a quadriplegic soldier returning from Afghanistan after his horrific injury. Back in the U.S, Mills has to reconcile with his stepfather while coping with his new life using prosthetic legs and arms. You may recall that Mills' book was a New York Times bestseller. 4. The Last Full Measure Directed by Todd Robinson, the film showcases a Pentagon investigator who teams up with a few veterans of "Operation Abilene" to persuade Congress to award deceased Air Force medic, William Pitsenbarger the Medal of Honor 35 years later. Pitsenbarger is accredited with saving over 60 ambushed service members in one of the bloodiest campaigns of the Vietnam War. The film stars Sebastian Stan, William Hurt, and Samual L. Jackson. 5. Ruin Directed by Justin Kurzel, the film chronicles a nameless ex-Nazi captain who navigates the ruins of post-WWII Germany to atone for the crimes he committed during the war by hunting the surviving members of his former SS Death Squad. Gal Gadot is rumored to have a role, but additional information hasn't been released. 6. The 34th Battalion Directed and produced by Luke Sparke, the film follows four friends from Maitland, New South Wales who join the 34th Battalion to serve on the Western Front. The film depicts the experiences of the unit, which was recruited in 1916.
