Plot:
123 elite U.S. soldiers drop into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and find themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily-armed Somalis.
When did Ridley Scott become an apologist for American foreign policy? While there's so much to loathe in this film - the Rah-Rah-USA-AOK military bravado done without any sense of irony, the outright racism of the representation of anyone of colour - this is a textbook "warfilm" that is quite compelling to watch (despite my reservations towards the films politics). It's also quite interesting to watch as a military film made just before 9/11 and before the war in Iraq. I wonder if the film would have been different if made today - or even a year or so later.
Its just annoying that in all these movies Americans are always the victim. o yea n Orlando pulled thru, bt he is more of a fantasy guy
I have seen this movie before but I never grew tired of watching it...It has an all star cast and superb direction...
What a brilliant film, intense, exciting, gripping, a film you just can't stop watching. There are many good turns in this film, Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, all excellent. I needn't say more for anyone who's seen it
2nd time around i liked it more....also look at the cast list.....most of the people who were in this who weren't huge, blew up shortly after this

This is one of the best war movies yet!
So fucking vivid and realistic.
It was great. I loved Sargent. Eversmann .
Best war movie ever. Why??? Because their is no message. It doesn't try to make some big political statement about war. It just presents war as it is. Brutal, confusing, loud, and fast. Josh Hartnett stands out of the cast. He gives a very subtle and understated performance. The rest of the cast is decent even Orlando Bloom. Ewan McGregor is his usual annoying self.
Despite his presence, Black Hawk Down is an instant classic.
Best war movie ever. Story was amazingly told, Rangers and Delta Operators desperately trying to save two downed blackhawk crews. And It wasn't a love story like pearl harbor.
