An attempt to capture some warlords went terribly wrong, and resulted in two American helicopters being shot down.
The incredible film shined a light on the intense battle that raged on the streets of Somalia as the Americans tried to rescue their surrounded teammates.

As I’ve said many times, “Black Hawk Down” is without a doubt one of the greatest war movies ever told. The fact that it’s a true story makes it all that much more powerful.
Before it was all over, a total of 19 Americans were dead.
I truly can’t recommend the movie about Operation Gothic Serpent enough. There’s literally never a bad time to watch it.
If it’s ever on and I walk in halfway through, you can guarantee that I’m sitting down to finish the movie.
So, fire it up on whatever service you use to stream movies. Trust me, it’ll be the best decision you make all day when it comes to your entertainment, and it’s an important story to learn.
