Movies are in completely different leagues. Plus, I bet the Tom Hanks vehicle doesn't have Chinese "oversight".

The 1st group of Fletchers commissioned in 1942 and served almost exclusively in the Pacific given their great range. I'm guessing it was easier to reproduce a Fletcher in CGI than earlier Gleaves class destroyers given the huge amount of media available on the Fletchers plus the pretty immediate recognition of them as US warships of the era. ?

How 'The Outpost' tells the true story of a handful of American soldiers heroically fighting back hundreds of Taliban
On Oct. 3, 2009, a handful of American soldiers at Combat Outpost Keating, a remote and highly exposed base in eastern Afghanistan, repelled a massive attack from more than 300 Taliban fighters.
In the wake of what would later be called the Battle of Kamdesh, the outpost still stood, but the desperate defense came at a terrible price: eight Americans were killed, and 27 were wounded.
As many as 150 enemy fighters were killed.
Overnight, Bravo Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment became one of the most decorated units of the war in Afghanistan. The fighting resulted in two Medals of Honor, as well as 27 Purple Hearts, 37 Army Commendation Medals and 18 Bronze Stars for valor, and nine Silver Stars, according to Military.com.
The Outpost, an upcoming film based on CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s best-selling book of the same name, aims to tell that story.
"It should be a day that every American knows," The Outpost's director, Rod Lurie, says in a new behind-the-scenes trailer. "It should be part of American history."
"The story of The Outpost is important because it actually happened. American service members were placed in the worst tactical position possible," Ty Carter, who along with Clint Romesha received the Medal of Honor for their actions that day, says in the promo.
The new trailer from Millennium Media lays out how the film intends to tell the story of one of the most desperate battles of America's recent wars: First, by having veterans on and off the set.
"I needed veterans in this film," Lurie says in the clip. "I needed veterans to play the soldiers."

Podolsk Cadets new Russian war movie that will be released as a part of 75th Anniversary Victory in the Great Patriotic War (as WWII is referred to in Russia) celebrations. Unlike the completely made-up fantasy and an insult to the history which is Panfilov's 28 Men, this movie is based on historical facts and tells the story of 3,500 cadets from Podolsk Infantry and Artillery schools who were rushed to the front lines in October of 1941 to stem the Wehrmacht juggernaut steamrolling towards Moscow. Essentially teenagers fought bravely and tenaciously for weeks even after the front completely collapsed around them. Less than 10% of the combatants broke through the German encirclement to reach the Soviet lines. No one surrendered or defected to the Germans either.

Brazil was the only country that sent Latin American troops to World War II. The unusual meeting between three deserters from different nationalities. It all begins with four soldiers from a bomb squad of the Brazilian army experiencing a panic attack. They flee from the front and at dawn they are lost in no man’s land. Desperate and unprepared, these Brazilian soldiers must choose between the enemy or court martial.
