15 Minutes of War (L'Intervention)

L'Intervention (The Intervention, English title: 15 Minutes of War) is a 2019 French action movie directed by Fred Grivois. The movie is directly inspired by the real-life rescue of French hostages by members of the French Foreign Legion and, at the time, new, small, and relatively unknown French counterterrorist unit GIGN outside of the village of Loyada, Djibouti in 1976. 
February, 1976. Militants belonging to the pan-Somali guerilla movement Front de Libération de la Côte des Somalis (FLCS) hijack a bus carrying 31 children of French servicemen deployed to the area. In response, France executes a joint mission between the French Foreign Legion and GIGN, who initiate a daring rescue which begins with a simultaneous sniper shot.
