I’m looking for a movie from the early 1990s. The film is set in 1937 - a group of Jews who fled Germany arrive in Palestine. They contact the Haganah, which assigns them one of its men (with short hair, dark glasses, dark skin and a black leather jacket) as a guide and liaison, equips them with cars and construction equipment and sends them to a hill overlooking an Arab village to build a fortified settlement there. The Arabs do not like this and, after unsuccessful talks, the village authorities decide to contact the Al-Fatah military group operating in the area (at that time, there is an Arab uprising against the British and Jews). The settlers’ guide senses trouble and contacts the Haganah militia. The conflict begins to escalate. Militants from both sides ride on horseback.
It isn’t “Cast a Giant Shadow”, because it’s a conflict from 1947, not 1937.
