I just caught the end of this move. Is anyone familiar with it? It's the
first time it has come to my attention. Stella

No Man's Land Movie - 2001:
Summary
RATING: R for violence and language
Starring Branko Djuric, Rene Bitorajac, Filip Sovagovic, Georges Siatidis,
Serge-Henri Valcke, and Sacha Kremer
Ciki and Nino, a Bosnian and a Serb, are soldiers stranded in No Man's Land --
a trench between enemy lines during the Bosnian war. They have no one to trust,
no way to escape without getting shot, and a fellow soldier is lying on the
trench floor with a spring-loaded bomb set to explode beneath him if he moves.
The absurdity of their situation would be comical if it didn't have such dire
consequences. (United Artists / MGM)

Synopsis:
The grim futility of the war between Bosnia and Serbia is reduced to its
essence as two enemy soldiers are forced to share a wary trust for one another
in this drama. A group of Bosnian soldiers are advancing upon Serbian territory
during a misty night when the fog lifts at daybreak, making them plainly
visible to their enemy. Serb forces open fire upon them, and soon only Chiki
(Brancko Djuric) is still alive, after diving into a trench in no man's land.
Two Serbian soldiers scouting the area set up a land mine using the body of a
Bosnian soldier as "bait;" if moved, the mine will jump into the air and
explode. Chiki watches as the soldiers set the trap, and furious at the
disrespect to his fallen comrades, he kills one of the Serbs, and takes the
other, Nino (Rene Bitorajac), hostage. With both soldiers alone and equally
armed, they find themselves at a stalemate, and begin trying to attract help
from either side. Eventually, the two men are found by a squadron of French
soldiers attached to a U.N. peacekeeping unit; now held by supposedly neutral
forces, Chiki and Nino are with the French troops when it's discovered that the
dead Bosnian soldier isn't dead after all, though no one is sure how to disarm
the mine without killing him in the process. No Man's Land was the debut
feature from Bosnian writer and director Danis Tanovic.
