US F-15 rescue story headed to big screen

Hollywood is wasting no time bringing the Iran rescue mission to life on the big screen.

Axar.az informs, citing Fox News, that legendary Hollywood director Michael Bay will direct a movie about the operation. The upcoming film will be based on an upcoming book written by Mitchell Zuckoff about the mission.

Bay has a long list of incredibly impressive directing credits. Some of his biggest hits include "Pearl Harbor," "Transformers," "Armageddon" and "The Rock."

His films that he's directed or produced have earned more than $10 billion globally, according to Deadline.

The story centers on the United States military’s rescue mission in April to save a downed F-15 crew in Iran.

The pilot was rescued fairly quickly by highly-elite Air Force pararescue forces. The search for the weapons officer lasted roughly 36 hours, and resulted in Tier One forces flooding into the country to save the unnamed WSO.

It was one of the most daring and impressive rescue operations in modern military history.

Now, it's going to be a movie.
