The Red Hangar

A taut and enthralling political thriller, The Red Hangar takes place during the military coup in Santiago, Chile, on September 11, 1973.

As a decisive shift in power prompts an escalating progression of disturbing events, an Air Force Captain receives an order that will change his life forever: to turn his Training Academy into a detention and torture centre. In an encounter with a former rival, he finds himself in an impossible moral predicament and realises he must put his life on the line.

“While the story, taken from reality, contains plenty of its own inherent tension, director Juan Pablo Sallato and screenwriter Luis Emilio Guzman pare the tale down to its essentials to ratchet up the atmosphere of uneasiness and incipient horror.” — Deborah Young, The Film Verdict
