Black Hawk Down
Takes its place on the very short list of the unforgettable movies about war and its ineradicable and immeasurable costs.
-- Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
Black Hawk Down
Black Hawk Down takes place in 1993, when the U.S. sent special forces into Somalia to destabilize the government and bring food and humanitarian aid to the starving population. Using Black Hawk helicopters to lower the soldiers onto the ground, an unexpected attack by Somalian forces brings two of the helicopters down immediately. From there, the U.S. soldiers must struggle to regain their balance while enduring heavy gunfire.
