Over time, it became one of the most beloved Israeli films.
'Giv'ah 338' also takes place on an isolated military base. An officer is sent to evacuate the base. But beneath it, an old bunker is discovered, complicating the mission.
Eli Yatzpan, Shahar Hason, and Yael Poliakov star in the film. Shaike Levy, who starred in the original film, also appears in it.
The movie is full of jokes and references to 'Givat Halfon'. But it doesn't rely solely on nostalgia.
According to reviews in Israel, it succeeds in creating its own story and humor. This way, it manages to break free from the shadow of the original film.
