Michael Bay is working on a new film about a major military operation.

Bay, who previously directed 2016’s military drama “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” is working with Universal Pictures to direct a film about the two pilots who were rescued from Iran during Operation Epic Fury this year, Variety has confirmed.

Operation Epic Fury is military action against Iran that President Trump approved starting in February 2026.
