On Monday, September 10, 1973, in Chile, Captain Jorge Silva (Nicolás Zarate)—head of logistics at an Air Force training school—begins his day unaware of the history-changing events unfolding in the capital. When the military coup erupts the following morning, Silva receives an order that will change everything: transform one of the school's aviation hangars into a detention and torture center. Believing the terror will be brief, he follows orders while trying to remain on the sidelines. The situation unravels with the arrival of a higher-ranking officer wielding unchecked authority—a man with whom Silva has unfinished business after intervening three years earlier to prevent an attack on President Salvador Allende. Trained to obey, Silva soon discovers that the new orders demand more than discipline—they demand participation. He must confront not only his past, but also his deepest convictions. The Red Hangar, the debut feature by Juan Pablo Sallato, based on true events, reconstructs the tense hours following Chile's 1973 Chilean coup d'état with urgency and precision, from a perspective rarely explored: the inner workings of the armed forces. The Winner of the Audience, Critics' Jury and Best Actor awards at the 2026 Malaga Film Festival is a gripping moral drama—and a chilling warning for the present—about obedience, loyalty, and personal responsibility in the face of terror.
