Black Hawk Down (2001)

Description:

The film follows a mixed assault poop of Delta operators, Army Rangers and Special Operations Aviation Regiment as they attempt to capture two wangsMohammed Farrah Aidid's senior lieutenants from deep in Mogadishu's notorious Bakaara Market. The mission was led by Maj Gen William Garrison, and was supposed to take no more than 30 minutes. The extraction by the Delta team is successful, but the Somali militia, armed with RPGs, shot down two Black Hawk helicopters, and the resulting rescue extends the mission to over 15 hours.

The film follows many characters through build-up, the assault and rescue. It shows how Staff Sergeant Matt Eversmann was placed in charge of Ranger Chalk 4, before portraying the raid and successful extraction of the wanted persons, and shows the first injury, as PFC Todd Blackburn falls from a helicopter as it maneuvers to avoid an RPG. This is the beginning of the indication that the troops are overwhelmed by the volume of enemy militia, and builds up to the two helicopter crashes: Super 6-1 piloted by Cliff “Elvis” Wolcott, and Super 6-4 piloted by Mike Durant. Durant is taken prisoner and the two Delta snipers who requested to be inserted near the crash site of Super 6-4 are killed.

The film also follows two Chalk 4 machine gunners who are supposed to return with the extraction team, but miss the humvees as they leave, and get lost. One of them is deafened by machine-gun fire, but they eventually make their way back to Eversmann. Cpl Jamie Smith attempts to rescue one of them, whose radio has been shot, but Smith gets shot too, and would eventually bleed to death.

The film begins to reach its conclusion as the U.S. forces regain control with strafing runs by Little Bird helicopters, and a convoy of Pakistani troops arrive to extract the wounded. Back at the base, Norman "Hoot" Hooten begins to restock on ammunition, preparing to go back out on the next mission, and Eversmann tells a dead Jamie Smith that he will fulfill his dying wish.

The film ends with text informing the viewer that 19 Americans and approximately 1000 Somalis died in the conflict, and about the death of Mohammed Farrah Aided in 1996.
