Based on CNN news correspondent Jake Tapper’s New York Times bestselling non-fiction book The Outpost: An Untold Story Of American Valor, the film tells the epic true story of a small unit of U.S. soldiers, alone at the remote Combat Outpost Keating, located deep in the valley of three mountains in Afghanistan, battles to defend against an overwhelming force of Taliban fighters in a coordinated attack. The Battle of Kamdesh, as it was known, was the bloodiest American engagement of the Afghan War in 2009 and Bravo Troop 3-61 CAV became one of the most decorated units of the 19-year conflict.
The Outpost stars Scott Eastwood (Pacific Rim: Uprising), Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out), Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings), Jack Kesy (Without Remorse), Taylor John Smith (Hunter Killer), Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys for Life), and Milo Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge).
