Overview:
------------

This is the true story of the Battle of Mogadishu, the longest sustained ground battle involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War. An elite force of one hundred twenty American Delta units and Ranger infantry were dropped into Mogadishu on October 3rd, 1993, to abduct two of Somalian warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's lieutenants. Instead, two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, and what was expected to take an hour lasted fifteen, resulting in the deaths of eighteen Americans, seventy three wounded, and hundreds of Somalians dead.

This group of one hundred twenty American soldiers on a seemingly routine humanitarian mission in Somalia find themselves outnumbered and outgunned by Somali soldiers.

Storyline:
-----------

October 3, 1993: At the height of the US involvement in Somalia a team of Rangers and Delta Force plan a raid on a meeting of Somali warlords, hoping to destabilize their regime and make the task easier for feeding the millions of their starving citizens. The raid calls for four Black Hawk helicopters to drop four teams of troops into the area around the building where the meeting was taking place and then to raid the building, arresting pre-determined targets. A back-up force on the ground would then move in to carry the prisoners away.

From the very moment the Rangers and Delta Force drop from their Black Hawks into the dusty streets of Mogadishu the raid goes horribly wrong. The forces come under an unexpected barrage of gunfire from all sides. As more troops are dropped into the streets the gunfire becomes more intense. Not only are members of the militia attempting to prevent the raid, but the citizens of Mogadishu sick of US interference in their country also take arms against the US.
With the ground forces pinned in their positions the Black Hawks hover overhead attempting to provide covering fire and using their rotor wash to disperse the crowds of civilians gathered in the streets. Two Black Hawks are gunned down within the first half an hour of the failed raid, resulting in one of the largest US military rescue missions of recent times.
The back-up ground force is sent in to rescue the crews of the downed Black Hawks, however soon they find themselves under heavy gunfire and taking casualties. With the initial raid force pinned in their positions, and the ground convoy also under heavy fire, over one hundred soldiers must spend a night fighting for their lives in a city that literally wants to see them killed.

When the fighting subsides the next morning eighteen US soldiers are dead and over seventy injured. The toll for the Somalis is much worse; over one thousand are injured and five hunderd have been killed.
