BLACK HAWK DOWN
starstarstarstar
On October 3, 1993, an elite team of Delta Force operatives were dropped onto the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia. The target: a two-story building said to contain two high-ranking lieutenants of a ruthless Somali warlord. What should have been a piece of cake wound up being the longest sustained firefight involving U.S. troops since the end of the Vietnam War. Director Ridley Scott dispenses with any political treatment of this complex incident in favor of a straightforward re-enactment of the street battle that ensued that's as breathtaking as it it hair-raising.

Based on the novel Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War from Author Mark Bowden, Black Hawk Down tells the true story of the Oct. 3, 1993, Battle of Mogadishu during the Somalian Civil War. This battle was the longest sustained ground attack involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War. The mission to abduct two of Somalian warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's lieutenants was designed to take 60 minutes but ended up lasting 15 hours. The attack resulted in two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters being shot down and the deaths of 18 Americans and hundreds of Somalians.
