From acclaimed director Ridley Scott and renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes the spectacularly shot and grippingly told true story about bravery and camaradarie in war. Black Hawk Down stars an exceptional cast including Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor and Eric Bana. In 1993, an elite group of American Rangers and Delta Force soldiers are sent to Somalia on a critical mission to capture a violent warlord whose corrupt regime has led to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Somalis. When the mission goes quickly and terribly wrong, the men find themselves outnumbered and literally fighting for their lives. On one hand, the movie was penned for its militaristic bravado and overtly one-sided depiction of the real-life conflict that inspired it. But on the other hand it still remains an exceptional piece of filmmaking and a true classic of its genre. Once again proving Ridley Scott as the master director who meticulously fulfills all the potential of any script handed to him – be it a nourish sci-fi, a female-led road movie or an agitprop action blockbuster.
