On October 3rd, 1993, roughly 120 Delta Force operators and Army Rangers fast-roped into Mogadishu, Somalia, to snatch lieutenants of warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid out of a crowded market district. The film reconstructs what was meant to be a thirty-minute raid and became an overnight urban battle, using interviews, maps, and archival footage to trace how two Black Hawk helicopters went down and stranded soldiers deep in hostile territory. It follows the fight street by street, from the initial insertion through the desperate defense of the crash sites to the armored convoy sent to extract the survivors at dawn. Eighteen American soldiers were killed and dozens more wounded, alongside a much larger toll among Somali fighters and civilians. The documentary lays out the tactical decisions, radio communications, and chain-of-command choices that turned a routine snatch operation into one of the deadliest firefights American forces had faced since Vietnam, and examines the political fallout that followed the images of a dead soldier dragged through the city.
