Black Hawk Down - Mark Bowden

Journalist Mark Bowden delivers a strikingly detailed account of the 1993 nightmare ... more

operation in Mogadishu that left 18 American
soldiers dead and many more wounded. This early 
foreign-policy disaster for the Clinton
administration led to the resignation of Secretary
of Defence  Les Aspin and a total troop withdrawal
from Somalia. Bowden does not spend much time 
considering the context; instead he provides a
moment-by-moment chronicle of what happened in 
the air and on the ground. His gritty narrative
tells of how Rangers and elite Delta Force troops 
embarked on a mission to capture a pair of
high-ranking deputies to warlord Mohamed Farrah 
Aidid only to find themselves surrounded in a
hostile African city. Their high-tech MH-60 Black 
Hawk helicopters had been shot down and a number
of other miscues left them trapped through the
night. Bowden describes Mogadishu as a place of
Mad Max-like anarchy-- implying strongly that
there was never any peace for the supposed
peacekeepers to keep. He  makes full use of the
defence bureaucracy's extensive paper trail--which
includes official reports, investigations and even
radio transcripts--to describe the combat with
great accuracy, right down  to the actual
dialogue. He supplements this with hundreds of his
own interviews, turning Black  Hawk Down into a
completely authentic nonfiction novel, a lively
page-turner that will make  readers feel like
they're standing beside the embattled troops. This
will quickly be realised as a  modern military
classic. --John J. Miller, Amazon.com

Black Hawk Down

Advantages: Excellent Film
Disadvantages: Not many

...article was a film called Black Hawk Down, which I had heard of but never, had the opportunity to watch and had no clue about, later on when in discussion on the article, somebody brought the film up and highly recommended it.

19 US soldiers lost their lives in the battle and the films depicts the story of some of the characters involved in the real life mission, including those who died or had significant injuries and those who came through as heroes.

Fire in the hole!

Advantages: Detailed battle scenes, plenty of action
Disadvantages: Not for the faint hearted, a lot of blood and gore

Black Hawk down is a film from the acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Hannibal) and the renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Con Air, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor). The film is based on actual events that befell a group of elite American soldiers in Somalia during the civil war that raged through the early nineties. The battle of Mogadishu was remembered as the longest single ground assault that American troops had been involved in since the ...

On the 3rd of October 1993 a group of elite American Delta Force soldiers are given orders to infiltrate a building within the Somalian capital Mogadishu and capture two top lieutenants of the infamous warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HELL

Advantages: Atmospheric, gritty and realistic
Disadvantages: Nasty

...there, one of which is Black Hawk Down. Black Hawk Down is set during the 1993 civil uprising in Somalia. A renegade warlord has asserted dominance over the area, with world aid being systematically seized and prevented from being received by the starving Somalis who so desperately need it. A United Nations resolution is in place, but this has done little to bring peace to the region and so the US military decides that it must capture two of the ...
...and when one of the Black Hawk helicopters is shot down, things take a terrible turn for the worse. With more and more rebels pouring into the area, the troops find themselves heavily outnumbered and outgunned and as the day progresses into night, there seems to be little that can be done to prevent more and more Us casualties. Directed by Ridley Scott, Black Hawk Down is an intelligent, impressive and shocking piece of cinema. Uncompromising in ...

Leave No Man Behind, Unless He's Black

Advantages: Brainless actioner for a friday night rental
Disadvantages: Brainless actioner.

...for the lead role in Black Hawk Down, and its such a shame. But at least Josh Hartnett doesn’t get to ruin the film on his own, oh no Ridley does that very well. Remember; just because he made Blade Runner and Alien doesn’t make him a master Filmmaker, it makes him a master Sci-fi maker, and never has that been more apparent with Black Hawk Down. White Squall was dire as was G I Jane and now he can add another notch to his list of Turkeys. ...
...War, Behind Enemy Lines, and Black Hawk Down were either released or will be soon. As you would expect from a U.S war film it is suitably Patriotic, but in this case they went into overdrive post Sept 11th and turned it into a chest beating, flag waving, America is the best etc. Shot in bleak grey tones (Saving Private Ryan anybody?), it follows the ill-fated mission to extract a Somali Warlords top two lieutenants in Mogadishu. The Americans in ...

NOTHING LIKE FLOATING YOUR OWN BOAT

...or unlucky enough to see Black Hawk Down on DVD last week, the decision is up to you? A woman can only stand so much death and destruction and this grand epic based on a true story that happened on October 3rd 1993, a battle which took place in the war torn city of Mogadishu, whether they should have been there or not, who are we to decide. This story was based on the real life events of that day in early October, The book written by Mark Bowden ...
...lives of 18 Americans, two Black Hawk helicopters, but, also not forgetting the hundreds, if not thousands of innocent Somalian's that died over the entire period of reign of terror that is one thing that this film very easily forgets.

Intense action from Hartlepool

Advantages: savage depiction of real events, does what a war movie should
Disadvantages: a bit too chaotic at times, needs repeat viewings to understand certain sections, which may not always be pleasant

...you're depressed now, let's watch Black Hawk Down. The captain thought it was a sequel to KES and ran to the toilet to be sick. When he returned the lights were off, the curtains closed, the tv on, the surround sound on and me laid half naked on the couch watching the opening moments of BLACK HAWK DOWN!!!!!!! Were introduced to the conflict and the main characters in the films opening half hour, basically a crazy warlord is captured by the U.S and ...
...capture some other lieutenants using Black Hawk helicopters and some elite soldiers. It all goes spectacularly wrong though when one of the helicopters is shot down and to make matters worse the troops are surrounded by thousands of gun toting somalians who are totally pi**ed off. A dramatic firefight ensues with the troops being split into groups. One group is led by Lt McKnight (Tom Sizemore- Pearl Harbor, saving private ryan) who leads a convoy ...

"All our ignorance brings us closer to death."

Advantages: Superb action
Disadvantages: Politically and emotionally empty

Black Hawk Down (2001) It?s 1993, Somalia, a large east African country. Delta Squad, one of America?s elite army ranger units, is preparing for a smash and grab mission to capture two high ranking enemy officials. To do so they must enter the most hostile district in the capital, Mogadishu. Over 100 troops enter the city by via armoured vehicle and black hawk helicopters. All is going to plan until a soldier is wounded and their progress slowed. The enemy are in very large numbers, soon out numbering the foot soldiers. When one Black Hawk is shot down they must move to help any survivors further complicating the operation. It quickly becomes clear that they will be stuck in these streets a lot longer than the planned half an hour. Ridley Scott (Bladerunner, Gladiator) directs the action ? and there is an awful lot of it ...

"TRUE STORY- TRUE CLASSIC"

Advantages: based on a true story, and excellent effects
Disadvantages: a few pointless extras

This is based on a trues story where a group of US soldiers are sent onto Mogadishu on a UN peace keepig operation. The trooops are sent into raid a building where beleived are some of the leaders of the terrorists are beleived to be meeting. It all going great until they come under heavy fire and and one of the black hawk helicopters is shot down. And the troops are all split up and rescue teams are sent to try and rescue survivors. Follow the story as the troops struggle to survive as the enemy doesnt seem to get weaker, and follow the desperations and the true bravery of these elite soldiers. There are a few well known names like, John Hartnett (also starred in pearl harbour), Ewan Mcgregor (obi- wan kenobi), Tom sizemore (who was also in pearl harbour), William Fitchner (The perfect Storm) an many more.

Review of Black Hawk Down (Special Edition) (DVD)

"We have a Black Hawk down, we have...".

Advantages: nonstop action, good story, genuine feel for what happened
Disadvantages: bit too much "hero" stuff, patriotism

abduction that goes horribly wrong when the first Black Hawk helicopter goes down in a crowded area in downtown Mogadishu. In an attempt to rescue the first Black Hawk a second chopper tries to go down and, while dispersing a group of Rangers and Delta Force units, gets shot at. This Black Hawk also crashes. The downed Rangers and Delta Force units try to find a hiding place while at the main camp a truck unit gets ordered to go to the first chopper to check for injured. Fights break out, the truck unit and the downed units get fired at and there is alot of injuries. In the end a small group of the downed Ranger and Delta Force units run across the border to a UN enforced camp. The moments that stick out for me in this movie are when the Black Hawks get shot down, a comment made by the main truck pilot Lt. Col Danny Knight (Tom Sizemore ...
