Tripoli background

Tripoli

The film tells the story of a centuries-old conflict between the United States and the pirates of Tripoli, ultimately building towards a thrilling conclusion as the Marines strive to hoist the American flag.

In 1805, the Tripoli pirates challenged America's freedom to sail the seas, prompting the US to send warships to blockade their fleet. A US Marine unit, led by Lieutenant O'Bannon, was tasked with attacking from the rear, joining forces with Hamet, the exiled Pasha of Tripoli, and his supporters. Along the way, Sheila, a young woman disguising herself as a dancing girl, joins the group, including eight US Marines, on their perilous journey across the Libyan desert.
