The historical Nollywood film "76" - a multi-award-winning film directed by Izu Ojukwu that takes you back to the 1976 military coup in Nigeria in relations to the assassination of General Murtala Mohammed and how it affected the lives of a military officer and his pregnant wife.

With an impressive cast, including veteran actors Ramsey Noah, Rita Dominic, and Chidi Mokeme, this historical fiction drama will keep you on the edge of your seat.

But what makes "76" truly special is the dedication of its cast. They trained with the Nigerian army for six months to bring authenticity to their roles as military officers and their wives. Plus, the film uses real archived footage of the coup to create an immersive experience for viewers.

Remarkably, "76” marks the first few historical movies to come out of Nollywood since 1992 when Nollywood was officially recognised. Although Nigerian movies stem as far back as the mid-1960s.

I must say the main characters in this epic seat-on-edge film were really impressive especially Ramsey Noah and Chidi Mokem given that they have no military drill background except the ones acquired in the course of producing this movie.

Shot mainly @ Letmauk Barracks, Mokola-Ibadan, Oyo State; the cars, costume, social life and environment setting were just the ideal type given that it was the former 4th Battalion Barracks in the 1960-1970s Nigeria. The theme picture above is in the officer's quarters area. I going to the officer's mess downward away from here with pop back then.

All the areas used for the movie were well familiar turfs especially the parade ground that is often used for the WASA ceremonies( I will do a thread on that one day) while my pop served with the army. Shout out to fellow barrack boys and girls folks all over. We rock!

I'm more impressed that they had to do a six month training to immerse themselves into the military setting and better understand the historical characters that they are playing

I like that dedication and this will make me watch...even though you will never see me watching a nollywood movie.

The usual plot ,thought process , and acting is way too slow for me.

My brain dey too fast for nollywood movies...except I just watch funny comedy characters like Mr Ibu just for their funny expressions and definitely not for the story

Nice

Ehen?
.
What’s so special about it?

Nice. You guys should try to make it look real and action packed, not some substandard stunts you always do

69 is better

I hope the movie captured the rat poison taker and the weak tribe

Nice one

Hope it captured OBJ begging for his dear life behind a desk before being asked to come out that they just wanted him to manage the regime.

Cowardice dey their blood.

Must military do with woman and s.

Very good movie, I enjoyed it than my expectations.

Warning! Nollywood will take your brain 10yrs back

Ok

I want time to go back to the 1990s .... When life was good.

I’ve watched the movie. It was fantastic.

I think it’s been around for years tho. Watched it last year or last 2 years. Can’t .

This movie and Invasion 1897 (a movie on the invasion of Benin empire in 1897). Sweet movies mehn

Is it a new movie? First time I heard about it

....

I have watched the full movies via a link in the internet and it is just breathtaking and fantastic though I have never seen it in the market.

The most tensed part of the movies was when Major Chidi Mokeme was forcefully trying to conscript Captain Dewa( Ramsey Noah) into the coup plot to assassinate the head of State. So sad I can't locate the link anymore.

This is false. Have you heard of a movie called "the battle of love"? What of State of emergency?

Is this a recent movie?

Yimmu

Nice movie.
