Michael Bay will direct a Universal Pictures film dramatizing the rescue of two U.S. pilots shot down in Iran during Operation Epic Fury. The project adapts Mitchell Zuckoff's forthcoming book about the mission and marks Bay's second collaboration with Zuckoff after 13 Hours. Universal has the film in development, and the production will bring Bay's large-scale action style to a rare on-the-ground extraction behind enemy lines, turning the real-life operation into mainstream cinema.
