'Zero Dark Thirty' Clip: SEAL Team Six Takes Off (VIDEO)

WATCH: New Clip From 'Zero Dark Thirty' Takes Off

"Zero Dark Thirty," Kathryn Bigelow's outstanding new film about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, features one of the most intense sequences of 2012: the raid on bin Laden's fortified compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

In this brand new clip from "Zero Dark Thirty," the SEALs -- led by actor Joel Edgerton -- take off for bin Laden's home, all while CIA analyst Maya (Jessica Chastain) watches. Maya is the key character in "Zero Dark Thirty," a government official who refused to rest in her quest for bin Laden. Oscar-winning screenwriter Mark Boal -- who did extensive research for the film, but apparently did not receive classified information from the Obama administration as had been previously reported -- based Maya on a real-life female CIA staffer.

Watch the "Zero Dark Thirty" clip -- which HuffPost Entertainment is debuting with sister site Moviefone -- above. The film arrives in limited release on Dec. 19 before opening nationwide on Jan. 11, 2013.
