Columbia Pictures Black Hawk Down Blu-ray From acclaimed director Ridley Scott "Gladiator," "Hannibal" and renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer "Pearl Harbor," "Armageddon" comes a gripping true story about bravery, camaraderie and the complex reality of war. "Black Hawk Down" stars an exceptional cast including Josh Hartnett "Pearl Harbor", Ewan McGregor "Moulin Rouge!", Tom Sizemore "Saving Private Ryan", Eric Bana "Chopper", William Fichtner "The Perfect Storm", Ewen Bremner "Snatch" and Sam Shepard "All The Pretty Horses". In 1993, an elite group of American Rangers and Delta Force soldiers are sent to Somalia on a critical mission tocapture a violent warlord whose corrupt regime has lead to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Somalis. When the mission goes terribly wrong, the men find themselves outnumbered and literally fighting for their lives.
Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. 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 Black Hawk Down makes it clear that the men involved were undeniably heroic. --Jeff Shannon
