With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk choppers were felled by rocket-propelled grenades, the U.S. soldiers were forced to fend for themselves in the battle-torn streets of Mogadishu, attacked from all sides by armed Aidid supporters. Based on author Mark Bowden's bestselling account of the battle, Scott's riveting, action-packed film follows a sharp ensemble cast in some of the most authentic battle sequences ever filmed. The loss of 18 soldiers turned American opinion against further involvement in Somalia, but \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack Hawk Down\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e--Jeff Shannon\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Blu-Ray","offer_id":45921463992511,"sku":"ac58175b-12a1-419a-8a61-30450f823d6b","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/68cc949eed1ab182e681b250c90cba44.jpg?v=1785166768","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/black-hawk-down-1","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
