When a group of demobilised soldiers hit a bar the night gets a bit out of hand when a Jewish man the group have befriended is found dead in his hotel room. Now every man is a suspect.
Crossfire examines many topics here the effects of war and spending prolonged time away from normal life and how it shapes and sometimes changes a man. The power and destructiveness of hatred bullying and how that that bring a man to his knees or maybe it can make him rise up and make him do things he never thought he was even capable of doing. This is a multilayered film with so many lessons that society could learn a lot from even today.
I'm sure back then this was a very risky controversial film exploring such taboo subjects but it is a brave film confronting these things head on. Great acting and a very hard hitting story.
