Special Forces (original title: Forces spéciales) is a 2011 French Afghanistan War film starring Djimon Hounsou as the commander of a unit of French Naval Commandos (Commandos Marine in French) sent into the tribal areas of Pakistan to rescue a war journalist (Diane Kruger) who has been kidnapped by Taliban forces. The film was made in close cooperation with the special forces branch of the French military.
