Synopsis: Action/war drama based on the best-selling book detailing a near-disastrous mission in Somalia on October 3, 1993. On this date nearly 100 U.S. Army Rangers, commanded by Capt. Mike Steele, were dropped by helicopter deep into the capital city of Mogadishu to capture two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord. This led to a large and drawn-out firefight between the Army Ranges, US Special Forces, and hundreds of Somali gunmen; resulting in the destruction of two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters. The film focuses on the heroic efforts of various Rangers to get to the downed black hawks, centering on SSG Eversmann, leading the Ranger unit Chalk Four to the first black hawk crash site, Chief Warrant Officer Durant who was captured after being the only survivor of the second black hawk crash, as well as many others who were involved.

No. So we give 'em something minor,

so they can sleep at night.

Man, you got a lot to learn.

Come on, let's go. You got everything?

Keys, your credit cards, your rubbers?

-Yeah, I'm all set.

Hey, you still got time to buy flowers.

-Flowers? What flowers?

Thanks, Tracy. I'm sure

you did a nice job again.

I hope your wife likes it, Mr. Faith.

-I think she'll be too busy to notice,

with all those guests.

-Don't blame her. You don't celebrate

your 25th wedding anniversary every day.

With the wash it totals 66,50. Thanks.

It's a pity this is your last day here.

I always enjoyed your company.

I'll miss you.

-I'll miss you too, Mr. Faith.

Can I look at you one last time?

-Of course.

I've think you've seen enough.

-You're so beautiful, Tracy.

Here is your credit card

and your receipt.

Thanks, Tracy.

Good luck with the new job.

For you a pleasant wedding anniversary.

-I will, thanks.

Come on, Buster.

Green hair? Are you nuts?

-The dirty prick deserves it.

Ah, that's quick. Come on, Buster.

I'm sure I pressed the right button.

I guess we get company, Buster.

Is there anybody there?

Hello?

I guess not.

Is this gonna happen or what?

Damn elevator. Come on, Buster,

let's take one of the others.

I'll be damned.

Yeah, that's what I think.

At last.

Come on Buster.

Don't you get difficult now.

Hey, it's me, Mark.

-Mark.

Yeah, how are you doing?

-Ok. Why are you calling?

I just wanted to apologize, you know,

I last night I said some things

I didn't mean and...

-Look, I'm really busy right now.

Well, I just wanted to say I was sorry.

-Can't you call back later?

I bought you flowers.

-Why did you do that?

I wanna make up.

-Mark...

Hey, open up.

-Open up?

I'm outside. I'm...

-You're what?

Surprise.

-Oh, Jesus, Mark, I...

Are you gonna keep me waiting out here

all day? Come on, I said I was sorry.

Here you go.

-Mark, you shouldn't have come.

I know, well your clothes. You're

sleeping. I mean, were you asleep?

Oops. I'm sorry.

-I...

I'm sorry, Mark.

-No, it's cool. I'm sure you are.

I didn't all, all that stuff

I just said, I was just joking,

I'll talk to ya.

I mean, what did I do wrong? Look at me.

Basically, I'm a very nice guy.

Mark, this b*tch isn't it worth, ok?

-That's your sister.

Half-sister. The cheating half.

-This obviously wasn't your lucky day.

No. And I'm not even gonna go into that,

what happened at the Millennium Building

because, you're pregnant and all.

-Ah, Jeff told me. What a horror story.

You're complaining how dull this job is.

-I take it back.

Waitress, the same, please.

-Mark, haven't you had enough?

So what? Come on, I'm fine.

-Getting drunk's not gonna help you.
