Beaufort is a 2007 Israeli war film. It was directed by Joseph Cedar and was co-written by Cedar and Ron Leshem, based on Leshem’s If There’s a Heaven.
The film takes place in 2000, the year of the IDF withdrawal from the Israeli Security Zone in southern Lebanon. It chronicles the daily routine of a group of soldiers positioned at the 12th century Crusader stronghold of Beaufort Castle, their feelings and their fears, and explores their moral dilemmas in the days preceding the withdrawal and end of the 18-year conflict in southern Lebanon.
