Additional InformationOn October 3, 1993, Army Rangers and members of the elite Delta Force participated in a covert operation in Mogadishu, Somalia that went horribly wrong. Sent to abduct two lieutenants of a vicious Somali warlord, the soldiers found themselves surrounded by hostile militia. Two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and many men lost their lives. Mark Bowden of the Philadelphia Inquirer told the story of the battle in his exhaustively researched, critically acclaimed book, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and filmmaker Ridley Scott (GLADIATOR) and screenwriter Ken Nolan have done an amazing job of bringing the dramatic story to the screen. Like Bowden's book, the film does not thoroughly examine the context of the conflict, but gives a detailed and intense blow-by-blow account of the fighting. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Josh Hartnett as a competent but nervous Ranger sergeant leading his first mission, Ewan McGregor as a desk jockey who excels when sent into combat, Eric Bana (THE INCREDIBLE HULK) as a cocky and enigmatic Delta, and Ron Eldard as a downed Black Hawk pilot. The violence of the film is brutal and nearly constant. Scott unflinchingly captures the chaos and mayhem of battle with tremendous visual finesse.

    Blackhawk Down blue ray dvd

    1994 Mogadishu, Somalia ,where warlord Mohamed Aidid is weaponising aid ,by preventing it reaching his fellow countrymen. Having already killed UN relief workers, the Clinton administration send in US rangers to capture leaders of Aidids clan......things go badly wrong in the process ,when two Blackhawk helicopters crash,and an all mighty gun battle ensues. Ridley Scott stokes up the action alright, but you know next to nothing about the US soldiers characters,and therefore feel less involved. An important episode in American military history.

  • Realistic Portrayal of the Horrors of War

    Some may argue that the film was too realistic, but its shocking truth on the carnage created in war should be told as a warning. Based on true events. Highly recommended.
