In October 1993, an elite group of U.S. soldiers were sent into Mogadishu, Somalia as part of a U.N. peacekeeping operation. Their mission: to abduct two top lieutenants of the Somali warlord, Mohamed Farrah Aidid, as part of a strategy to quell the civil war and famine that was ravaging the country.
Arriving with good intentions, their carefully planned mission took an unexpected turn resulting in the U.S. military's single biggest firefight since Vietnam.
Based on the true story of the Battle of Mogadishu by Mark Bowden.
absolutely INCREDIBLE film, one of the most memorable spectacular war film I've seen, cheers to Ridley Scott! Excellent job with this one! :D
This is one of the best war movies going. It's gory, funny, tense, exciting all at the same time. I've never been in battle but the sense of confusion presented by the movie certainly makes you feel as if you are in the thick of it.
