Black Hawk Down [2001]

Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled Black Hawk Down and I would like to share with you here.

The movie is about Captain Mike Steele, who leads a team of nearly 100 US Army Rangers who travel to the capital city of Mogadishu to catch the top two lieutenants of a Somali warlord.

It begins In 1992, during the famine in southern Somalia induced by the civil war, the United Nations Security Council authorizes a military operation with a peacekeeping mandate.

However, by 1993, conflict ensued between UNOSOM II and the Mogadishu-based militia loyal to Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

In response, U.S. President Clinton deploys Task force ranger, consisting of 3rd Battalion/75th Ranger Regiment, Delta Force operators and flight crew of the 160th SOAR to Mogadishu to capture Aidid, who has proclaimed himself president and steals Red Cross food shipments.

Outside Mogadishu, Rangers and Delta Force capture Osman Ali Atto, a faction leader selling arms to Aidid's militia.

The US plans a mission to capture two of Aidid's top advisers. Before the mission, a Staff Sergeant receives his first command of Ranger Chalk Four after his lieutenant has a seizure.

Members of his chalk include fresh 18-year-old Private First class and Specialist, a former desk clerk.

The operation begins, and Delta Force operators capture Aidid's advisers inside the target building, while the Rangers and helicopters escorting the ground convoy take heavy fire from the rallying militia.

Blackburn is severely injured when he falls from one of the Black Hawk helicopters, so three Humvee are detached from the convoy to return Blackburn to the UN-held Mogadishu Airport.

Grimes is separated from the rest of Eversmann's chalk after surviving an RPG explosion.

Just after Struecker's column departs, Black Hawk Super six-one, piloted by Chief warrant officer, is shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade.

The chief warrant officer and his co-pilot are killed, two crew chiefs are wounded and two Delta Force snipers on board escape in an MH-6 Little Bird helicopter, though one dies later from his wounds.

The ground forces are rerouted to converge on the crash site. The militia erects roadblocks, preventing lieutenant colonel Danny McKnight's Humvee column from reaching the area and forcing them to sustain heavy casualties.

Meanwhile, two Ranger chalks, including Eversmann's unit, reach the crash site and set up a defensive perimeter.

However, another helicopter, a Super six-four piloted by a Chief Warrant Officer, is also shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashes several blocks away.

With the primary Ranger forces led by Captain Mike Steele pinned down and sustaining heavy casualties, no ground forces can reach super six-four or reinforce the Rangers defending Super six-one.

Two Delta Force snipers are inserted by helicopter to secure super six-four's crash site, where they find Durant still alive.

Despite their heroic actions, the site is eventually overrun, two men are killed and Durant is captured.

McKnight's column relinquishes their attempt to reach Six-One's crash site and returns to base with their prisoners and the casualties.

The men prepare to go back to extract the Rangers and the fallen pilots and Major General Garrison asks for reinforcements from the 10th mountain division including Malaysian and Pakistani armored units from the UN coalition.

Find out what happened next on Netflix as they prepare to extract the Rangers and the fallen pilots as the movie gets more interesting.
