'71 is a 2014 movie directed by Yann Demange. The film is set during 1971, at the heights of the Northern Ireland conflict. Inexperienced English recruit Gary is ordered to work in Belfast. The situation there is even for experienced military commanders as confusing and overwhelming. The city is divided into "loyal" Protestant and "hostile" Catholic areas. Both factions have paramilitary units. In addition, even radical street gangs and undercover investigators of all sides try to enforce their interests on their own. During a raid, Gary and his squad get into a scuffle with an angry Catholic mob. Gary is separated from his unit and now has to stand alone in the middle of enemy territory.
