The 8-year-long Iraqi aggression (1980–1988) is referred to as “Sacred Defense” in Iran.

The town is located in Shahr-e Rey, 25 kilometers from the Tehran-Qom highway, on a land area of over 550 hectares.

The complex includes various locations such as a lake, Iraqi military bases, dry fields, and reed beds.

This complex has hosted many productions in the different genres of Iranian cinema. Many notable films in the fields of Sacred Defense and religious themes have been made here.

Other than dozens of defense-related movies, the complex has also hosted religious films and series, including Prophet Joseph (TV series).

In many countries with a strong cinema industry, cinema complexes are an important part of living cinema museums. They not only host film productions but also help generate revenue for the country's cinema industry.

Walking through this complex brings to life the bravery of the men and women who stood against the Ba'ath regime during the imposed war, ensuring not an inch of their land was given to the enemy.
