Black Hawk Down (2001) is a powerful war film directed by Ridley Scott, adapted from the non-fiction book by Mark Bowden. The movie recounts the gripping true events of the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, during the height of the Somali Civil War. It follows a mission by elite U.S. military units, including the 75th Ranger Regiment, Delta Force, and 160th SOAR, as they set out to capture two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord.

What begins as a swift operation soon turns into a catastrophic battle when two Black Hawk helicopters are shot down, leaving the soldiers trapped in a hostile city. Surrounded by overwhelming enemy forces, they must fight their way out under heavy fire. The film excels at depicting the intense urban combat, the chaos of modern warfare, and the unyielding bravery and brotherhood of soldiers on the ground.
