Operation Black Hawk Down chronicles the harrowing true story of an October 1993 U.S. military mission in Mogadishu, Somalia. As part of the UN's peacekeeping efforts amid the country's civil war, U.S. forces launched a raid targeting two key lieutenants of warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid. However, the mission went awry when two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, leaving 18 soldiers stranded behind enemy lines. With limited communications and dwindling supplies, the surviving U.S. troops faced an overwhelming onslaught from Somali militiamen in a desperate attempt to hold their ground and rescue their fallen comrades. The intense battle tested the limits of human endurance and highlighted the complexities of foreign intervention in war-torn regions.
