About this video
A casualty evacuation, a desperate rescue and the dog Maddy establish the modern human thread of Hammer. The sequence turns a callsign into a character question: what did he do to earn it, and what did the rescue cost him?
Context
This is a fictional character scene from Hammer. Its people, rescue and precise chain of events are dramatic creations, and the military imagery is a cinematic reconstruction rather than documentary footage of a claimed real incident.
