Black Hawk Down
Leave no man behind.
Directed by Ridley Scott
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Revolution Studios
A visceral, relentless combat film centered on soldiers' bonds under extreme duress, driven by sustained gunfire and the chaos of a failed military operation.
When U.S. Rangers and an elite Delta Force team attempt to kidnap two underlings of a Somali warlord, their Black Hawk helicopters are shot down, and the Americans suffer heavy casualties, facing intense fighting from the militia on the ground.
