With 4 nominations, including the Goya Awards and the Film Screenwriters Circle Award, Zona Hostil presents a real event that the Spanish Army experienced in Afghanistan. Directed by Adolfo Martínez and starring Ariadna Gil, Raúl Mérida, Roberto Álamo and Antonio Garrido, this is the story of an American convoy escorted by the Spanish legion which suffers from the explosion of a mine in the north of Afghanistan. The inexperienced Lieutenant Conte (Raúl Mérida) is in charge of the crew that will protect the wounded until they are evacuated. Captain Varela (Ariadna Gil), a military doctor, comes to the rescue in a Spanish Army helicopter, but the ground is not stable during the landing and the helicopter capsizes, leaving the rescuers trapped with the legionaries in the middle of nowhere. The impulsive Commander Ledesma (Antonio Garrido) proposes a risky plan to rescue them all. The film is characterized by a high level of production.
