From acclaimed director Ridley Scott and renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer,
based on actual events, Black Hawk Down is the heroic account of a group of
elite U.S. soldiers sent into Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 as part of a U.N.
peacekeeping operation. Their mission: to capture several top lieutenants of
the Somali warlord, Mohamed Farrah Aidid, as part of a strategy to quell the
civil war and famine that is ravaging the country.
Young Rangers and veteran Delta Force soldiers fight side by side against
overwhelming odds. For 18 harrowing hours, they remain trapped and wounded in
the most hostile district of Mogadishu until a rescue convoy can be mounted to
retrieve them. Outnumbered and surrounded, tensions flare, friends are lost,
alliances are formed and soldiers learn the true nature of war and heroism.
