In June 1967, Israel launches a surprise air strike against Egypt that destroys most of its air force on the ground within hours, opening what becomes known as the Six-Day War. The film traces the countdown to that strike: Egypt's expulsion of the United Nations Emergency Force from Sinai, President Nasser's closing of the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, and the troop buildups that convinced Israeli commanders they were facing an existential threat rather than posturing. Archival footage and expert testimony follow the fighting as it spreads beyond Egypt, with Jordan entering the war and Syria opening a front on the Golan Heights, while Israeli forces push into East Jerusalem and the Old City within days. The film pairs battlefield chronology with the political calculations behind each move, from Cairo to Amman to Tel Aviv, showing how a series of individually explicable decisions compounded into a war that redrew borders across the Middle East in less than a week and whose territorial consequences are still contested today.
