Black Hawk Down (2001)

5Action, 9pm ★★★★

This action drama, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Ewan Mcgregor, retells the dramatic events of October 1993, when 100 soldiers from a UN peacekeeping force were dropped into war-torn Somalia. Their mission was to capture two warlords – but when two of their Black Hawk transport helicopters were shot down, a long and violent siege followed. Sometimes ahistorical, the action is Scott’s best.
