- In a gripping and intense sequence from the war drama Black Hawk Down, the besieged American soldiers find themselves in a desperate fight for survival as night falls over the war-torn streets of Mogadishu. With the relentless enemy closing in from all sides, the embattled troops rely on the unwavering support of the AH-6J Little Bird helicopter gunships, whose strafing runs and rocket attacks keep the militants at bay. The skilled pilots and gunners work tirelessly throughout the night, their precise strikes and daring maneuvers providing a crucial lifeline to the soldiers on the ground. As dawn breaks, the 10th Mountain Division's relief column finally reaches the exhausted and battered survivors, their arrival heralding a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. The wounded and fallen are carefully evacuated in the waiting vehicles, their sacrifices forever etched in the hearts and minds of their comrades.

Black Hawk Down is a powerful and unflinching war film that chronicles the true story of the ill-fated U.S. military raid in Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1993. Directed by Ridley Scott, the plot follows a group of elite American soldiers tasked with capturing warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's top lieutenants. However, when two Black Hawk helicopters are shot down during the operation, the soldiers find themselves trapped in the heart of a hostile city, fighting for their lives against overwhelming odds. As the situation escalates and the casualties mount, the men must rely on their training, courage, and unwavering loyalty to one another to survive the harrowing ordeal. The film is a stark and sobering portrayal of modern warfare, highlighting the bravery and sacrifices of the soldiers on the ground while also grappling with the complex political and moral implications of military intervention. With its intense action sequences, exceptional ensemble cast, and thought-provoking themes, Black Hawk Down serves as a powerful tribute to the men who fought and died in the battle of Mogadishu, and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.

There's always that one guy who's seen so much combat that he can just casually walk in the middle of a gun fight give you a handshake and tell you were to load up your wounded
Tom Seizmore babe.. he's seen countless wars and combats ever since Saving Private Ryan
I kid you not, one of the pilots flying for Blackwater landed his bird in the middle of a firefight, then walked over to a casualty he heard called out in the radio.
He wanted to see if that was a guy he served with when he was in. It was…
He got back in, somehow took off, and orbited overhead providing ISR to the ground element until FP arrived.
Maybe there always IS that one guy 🤷🏼♂️😅😳
When they made A Bridge Too Far, Anthony Hopkins couldn't stop himself from flinching at the pyrotechnics used meaning his character of John Frost is seen running from cover to cover to avoid sporadic enemy fire.
The real John Frost criticised this; saying no British officer would run like that. They always walked, showing a 'gentlemanly disdain' for danger. This was very true; it got a lot of officers killed for acting like their Napoleonic era ancestors who could actually walk due to how inaccurate muskets were.
These days no veteran would be stupid enough to walk around like that. It's only in movies.
my man went thru ww2, he seasoned
RIP Tom.
01:53 - 02:09 I always liked this small sequence. Dramatic effects aside, the slow-mo aspect underscored the eternity that 5 minutes, waiting for the convoy to arrive, can feel like.
Since I could speak this and will forever be my favorite movie with saving private Ryan and we were soldiers
This movie beats the other 2.
My late dad and I saw this in the theatre and I was just blown away by it. Years later I read the book by Mark Bowden.
you've obviously never seen "shakes the clown"
Yep
We were soldiers was better
I love how the Seargant walks around like he doesn't give a flying fuck, that's morale right there.
Sarge...sarge they're shooting at us
Well shoot back
*colonel
It's a movie, Buddy!
@@Jorn41 Actually it's because he was described to have actually been like that. Movie just portrayed him as described.
Definitely a Colonel…he’s leading far more than a squad
It actually works the opposite way. The IR flasher is used to mark where friendlies are, not where the bad guys are. They would put a couple of those on top of the building they are hiding in, and the gunships will wipe out everything else around them.
Exactly. Throwing it at hostiles could be dangerous because they could mistake it for a grenade and throw it back leading to potential friendly fire.
Yeah, but that isn't as dramatic.
But the incoming pilots knew to shoot at it
@@brycepatties And the need to show just how vital the little birds were in this fight. From what I have read of the battle, virtually everyone has stated that the Little Bird helicopters were the reasons why the Rangers and Delta guys survived that night.
Shhhhhhh. You not of what you talk about, ma'am.
I got out of the Army in June of '93. My old unit deployed to Somalia in August. They went in to help rescue those Ranger and Delta troops when they called for all available troops to assist. Two of my buddies were wounded and several of our Humvees were damaged beyond repair in that battle.. Every time I see this movie, I shudder to think that I would have been there, had I re enlisted.
How Randy great story that must of been tough my brother served in the Iraqi war
10th Mountain?
@@jamiestewart48 258th MP Co.
what was your main mission there?
Did you regret not going?
McKnight always the steadiest guy on the battlefield , the real ball of steel.
I need to watch this with the commentary, since two of the people commenting are the actual Matt and Danny. I'm just lazy.
@@JnEricsonx Thanks for the heads-up on that.
actually, mcknight was trying to inspire the others by showing a pointed lack of concern for the fire all around. this is something many commanders do. during the filming of a bridge to far, the real col. frost told anthony hopkins, playing him in the movie, not to run fast in the battle scenes for the same reason. hopkins thought it was a dumb thing to do when being shot at, but complied.
I love that Little Bird strafing run.
Roger that CoD player
@@dmoney8602 The only good COD was COD 4.
When those Little Birds finally came into action...holy mother of god.
Oh dear Lord. Hank Schrader was a 160th Littlebird pilot before he joined the DEA!?!. FU*KING EPIC
Goddamn, it feels like every time I watch this movie I notice a new actor that was in it.
he'd already stormed the Cyberdyne building and faced Sarah Connor and the T-800 back in 91
It does kind of look/sound like Dean Norris, but he's not listed in the cast, even as uncredited. I'm still gonna pretend it's him, though.
That's Jeremy Piven
He was also a mutant on Mars
Lt. Col. McKnight just casually walking wherever he goes, He just don't give a shit who or what's trying to kill him. Absolute madman and badass.
colonel
The man survived D-Day, Mogadishu ain't shit to him. Lmao
It's Colonel. We salute the rank and the man. 🫡
When I graduated from Infantry OSUT at Fot Benning, I got to see this movie at the main post theater. Made me proud to just be awarded my blue Infantry cord. Proud of my 20 years of service.
What company where you in? I was in C Co 1/50 and graduated in November 2001 and watched this on base.
Sounds like 3rd ID
How so? @@GeneralHawk505
What I like about this movie are the sounds of the guns. They all feel punchy and distinct.
right on i was there, cant watch movie very realistic was with 10mtn
I met Col. McKnight several years ago. He really is a badass just like what was shown in the movie.
An impressive honor indeed, hope he was doing well.
MALBATT Misi Bakara is sequel for this film, based on true story in Somalia 1991 about Black Hawk Down.
From Normandy to Mogadishu. tom sizmore is epic
When sober.
Pearl Harbor
He’s seen it all
He's pretty handy in a bank heist too. Or at least he was.
He was born to be in war movies
Air support is wonderful when it works. This is why the US has spent so much time and effort MAKING it work.
Precisely.
All the US Rangers and Delta Force members that fought and died there, may they rest in peace.
2:09 Kurth: I NEED A MAG EVERSMANN I'M OUT
Matt Eversmann: KURTH MY LAST ONE
i like how by the end of this Mcknight doesn't give a shit that they're shooting at him anymore, he just strolls around
Plus he had already survived getting shot in the neck earlier on.
He walks in the battlefield like he was going for work in a boring office
Remember seeing this scene at 12 years old and thinking hell ya
Best war movie ever made .
Let’s not forget the Malaysian soldiers who saved the US troops in the real Black Hawk Down. 👍
So many forget that war is a team effort.
@@dwrdwlsn5 Yep, usually Americans forgetting that..
@@Alastair_ funny, I think all KINDS of people forget that. Admittedly, Americans usually make the most noise about it, but we are good at that.
uh.... more Pakistanis in there than Malaysians. The UN base was operated by the Pakistanis. Malaysians were a smaller contingent of a few APCs.
@@sztypettto *sigh*
...point
...missed
the masculine urge to rain hell and help your buddies
Little birds, saved my ass on multiples, love you guys.
AH-6 High speed, low tech. Gotta love em.
I got to serve with JSOC during my first deployment to Iraq, and I'll tell you now these Gentleman really are elite man, served with part of the 75th Ranger Regiments that came through, the operating at night only sometimes by Stryker, at time by choppers. I can't believe I got to dawn the combat patch for them, like I can't put into words how great it was.
That's awesome man, glad you made it back!
Were you with 75th Rangers when deployed, or did you luck out & get strapped to them once out the gate?
(I deployed to Afghanistan twice, and we had some JTF-2 snipers helping us during Operation Medusa in 2006. Absolute gentlemen, funny, witty, polite, but absolute savages when it came time to put the capes on)
@@chrisburke624 I also deployed to Afghanistan I was at Bagram Air Base, Muleskinner, not too far from Craig's Hospital on the main stripe, got with with some IEDs on HWY 1, coming out of Kabul, going to FOB AIRBORNE.
@@pjkicks2550 you sound like you are so proud because of it huh? Tell me, what does it cost? What was the ultimate result from Iraq, Afghanistan?I don’t need you to believe, I ain’t liberal brats, but seeing the results of Afghanistan with full of wastes, blood and sweat from our fallen and wounded soldiers paid for nothing,and fucking terrorist’s equipments like armors, military vehicles , choppers make me believe they are REAL US soldiers and does not look like savages.
There are special people in the military
Got my CIB with the 101st. Quite the epic moment.
when you read the book its a lot more harrowing. Eversmann didnt simply throw the infrared beacon onto their position. he had to get it as close as possible, and then weigh it down heavily under any debris he could scrabble for. he had to careful kneel down and lift a heavy chunk of concrete and tuck it under, all the while under fire, so that the rotors of the helicopters wouldn't simply blow it away.
The little birds saved the day. Rangers would have been overwhelmed that nights
Making Josh Hartnett great again.
I always wonder how it would’ve went if they did have an AC-130 Spectre for air support instead of the choppers. The choppers still did a really good job when it helped them clear the way.
they got the use of the ir marker backwards. in a case like this, you mark your position and tell the air support to hit everywhere else.
1:23 US Soldier: LAY DOWN SOME COVER FIRE
I watched it on Netflix during my summer break
This man are heroes of all the people who want life behind 100 respite ❤❤❤
I love that they just pick the device up, not running away
Movie's got to happen, lol.
Probably didn’t know what it was, and the fact it didn’t explode immediately proves it wasn’t a grenade
@@dionjaywoollaston1349 The whole point of a grenade is that it doesn't explode immediately, it explodes after a couple of seconds. Also in combat, any handheld thing being chucked across the battlefield has a high chance of being a grenade.
They really should've thrown it away or GTFO there.
It should be law that every soldier wears a bullet proof vest as part of official uniform, just like helmet,the torso is the biggest target and most susceptible to harm or injury.
Buddy, these guys did not go down in vain. their cries will go down in history.
What did they die for? The targets they captured were released about a month later scott free and then the UN packed it up and left Somalia. And please don't say they died to save starving people because the famine had ended before Task Force Ranger was even deployed in August 1993.
@whoops archives At the end of the day they were following orders like good soldiers, and died for each other. They were not thinking of foreign policy or diplomatic relations, they were trying to save each other.
Its tragic and a perfect example of why you cant have your cake and eat it too when it comes to foreign intervention.
Well, imagine you are wielding a task force which the Jedi master, Elf Prince, Bane/Venom, Mister Fantastic, the king slayer and Mr.Dunphy served in, and you still lost two choppers and 18 soldiers. This is just unacceptable.
The camera man joke is funnier, and that’s not funny at all.
Just comment “I’m a Virgin” the effect is the same.
@@dmoney8602 thanks for the update and please share it with all the people who clicked thumb-ups.
Don't forget the Captain of the Flying Dutchman
Reality is very harsh sometimes.
And you've forgotten to include The Hulk/Prince Hector/Uncle Chop Chop?,, That's sacrilege lol.
Fairly Realistic as far as War movies go. I will say the gun fight in Lone Survivor is probably the most realistic I’ve seen, as unless you shoot someone in the head or heart they will not die right away. And when the volume of fire increases it can get pretty confusing. Lone Survivor captured that pretty well. The Insurgents we fought in Fallujah were so hopped up on meth that I literally remember shooting a couple a have a dozen or more times and they’d still be up running around and firing, Ak’s PKM’s and RPG’s at us.
lol lone survivor is a joke
Delta leader, finscher, from perfect storm.
Ramped it up.
the movie that changed my life forever !!
Feel the same way. I'll never forget watching it in the theaters very soon after dealing with my own personal tragedy.
Saw this live in the theater, half the guys in there almost came in their pants when those helos took out the skinnies on the roof with their miniguns.
I will forever regret the fact that I didnt go to the theater with my father to see this movie.
Sure people probably couldn't hear anything for about a day or two after seeing it in the theater must've been loud as fuck.
May Tom Sizemore rest in peace.
Oscars didn't even include him in the in memory of bit. Bunch of utter dicks.
Strafing the skinnies is so sweet!
2:42 Walk like a Boss 😆
Seen this in theater twice. One of my favorite war movies.
This was filmed in Morrocco, and the helicopters were provided by the 160th SOAR (for a fee to the Army), and it took actual DIPLOMACY to let them fly there, there questions about exactly what they were doing, and assurances had to given that they were NOT there to fly missions ANYWHERE!
160th was also the aviation unit that flew that mission. In the beginning of the film you can hear Jeremy pivons character call his colleague Knight stalker as they fly bye each other
@@steveo5611 The Night-stalkers were just getting stood up for that job when they lost the helos. That was their FIRST deployment, if you had tried those guys on a couple of years after that..... I do know what I read about the night stalker aircraft in Morocco, they did NOT like that, but with a little arm twisting from DOD and some FUNDS from the movie makers, they got over it.
Well, can you blame them?
What I understood is the Army let them put the aircraft into the takes for free, but had a vote into the direction the movie would go
And the Pakistani soldiers were actually Moroccans.
Best movie of 2001. Thanks to this, Call of Duty Modern Warfare was born.
Don't forget Operation Flashpoint : Red River
@@dioarya6275 haven't seen that one yet.
@@kristelvidhi5038 If you want to enjoy hardcore gunfight just like the marines, then Operation Flashpoint is a good choice for you
@@dioarya6275 Call of Duty is better.
@@kristelvidhi5038 It's pretty good, but the whole gameplay and atmosphere were purely looks too Hollywood for me (that's why I stick to Insurgency or Red Orchestra)
This movie should tell the truth about who save US rangers. Big respect to Malaysian army who save the US rangers.
And they want to replace the little birds. Leave perfection alone
Shout out night stalkers there excellent and provide our special forces support 😊
I was rlly happy to see those choppers shred those roof tops. I've seen alot of footage of military operations and I'm pretty sure if this was anything like how it happened irl then that would be the most intense fighting I've seen.
This movie was outstanding alongside others the thin red line
Glad as a Malaysian, they came to rescue the Americans.
Glad to have help from our friends.
This is how a poorly planned special operation always ends. A few years later, in Afghanistan, during Operation Red Wings, several dozen soldiers of the American special forces Navy Seals were killed in just one day. In both cases, every possible planning mistake was made.
JESUS CHRIST.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎🌎🕊🕊
A single AC-130 would've made this into a cake walk.
BRRTTTTTT!
Or a couple of Apaches for a cheaper alternative.
There was a lot of discussion in the book about how the raid would have went if an AC-130 and/or proper armoured vehicles(think more Stryker than Humvee) were involved. I'd say that the Apaches(or Cobras; the Marines were conducting relief operations in the area) would have been a better choice than the AC-130 due to the terrain, and easier assets to obtain given the SOAR presence.
The general denied it tho because they might shot some friendlies
@@maricelramos2514 No. The United States had a heavy presense in Somolia and when Clinton pulled out the military he realized the situation was not yet handled. He sent in a minimal amount of troops (a single Ranger battalion without any backup) to keep their signature small because he didn't want to admin his mistake. The White House would not authorize AC-130's to operate in the Somolian theater during the peacekeeping raids in the 1990s. Not because they were worried about blue on blue kills.
AH64 would have helped , as for AC130 !
Two good AH64 crews could have saved Durant, Gordon, and Shughart.
That's what i m thinking about, Gunship support
The little bird is known as a street fighter, which is exactly what that battle was
Clinton administration didn't allow AC130 in the battle. Just as Hillary didn't allow Marines to rescue the Embassy in Libya. Seeing a pattern?
Movies like BHD and Saving Private Ryan are classics. They show the Murica fck yeah moments but also a lot of the main guys getting taken out and dying as it is in real warfare. It feels tense, like you're there witnessing the battle. Not like Rambo or The Expendables or something.
If they had ac130 that would have gave them support needed to be successful
In terms of the military, this operation was tragic in preparation and reconnaissance, and it was carried out in an exemplary manner with regard to the evacuation of the encircled troops. Unfortunately, politics then got involved and the US went into isolation for a long time.
I forgot what the flaw in this operation was, but I think it was because they didn't bring any Heavy Armour support like Main Battle Tanks or APC vehicles to begin with which is why the operation ended in failure and they all had to pull out.
@@JaysGaming127 the Clinton administration wouldn't allow it
@@JaysGaming127 politicians wanted the operation to be more discreet so they only sent in blackhawks and small birds for cover
Imagine thinking 10 years of bombing counted as isolation
The problems started when the US bombed an apartment building full of Somalians holding a peace committee.
Jerry Bruckheimer is an amazing filmmaker
that night battle wasnt just a climax but the beginning of the climax i think the fight went for weeks
I remember this all too well.
Rest in Peace Tom Sizemore October 3,1993-2023 30th Anniversary Black Hawk Drown Failer of Clinton Administration
I don't like war,but adversaries has to be eliminated when necessary.always.
Although it is a movie, in reality there were true events. That's what happened in all the wars. Sad how people die for the interests of greedy mental patients.
Let me tell you a true story:
Between January-May 2003 I spent my time at Ft. Benning Georgia for Infantry training. I spent 13 months in Fallusah but thats not the point. The guy in this movie who gets injured and begs to go back out was present at the time of my training . The drill sergeants said one thing to us:
"Dont make eye contact with him or even glance in his direction. You fuckers aren't worthy of the ground he walks on".
It was a moment in my life ill never forget. Seeing that man from a distance was more of a privilege than meeting any celebrity.
Por que não fazer o contato visual?
R.I. P Tom Sizemore
Great War film. Definitely a top tier one
ITS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
If only the US government listened to the general, less lives would have been lost
Colin Powell refused to support a request for armor and a ac130 gunship. Yet he never was blamed for it.
Courage, Bravery, RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!
Why can’t the recruiting commercials look something like this? Instead of two moms?

The Book , I don’t read books, was excellent. Strongly advise you to read it
somalis got balls of steel !
Damn delta boys always cavalier best of the best right there, wonder who would win in a 1v1 delta soldier or a green beret (apologies if they are one in the same)
He should be awarded silver star
Good movie, war with Tom Sizemore the warmovie specialist.
The way the sarge doesn't seem at all phased by the bullets and walks around like he's having a Sunday stroll in the countryside..
Does anyone think that would ever happen?
He's not a Sargeant he is a Colonel his name Danny McKnight he was reportedly like that during the actual battle
All I think about is pointing guns at myself, when I watch this movie.!!
Too bad they didn’t show much of the Malaysian UN soldiers that really saved their asses.
Insane how Hollywood can portray such a loss like this
read the book, the Malays didn't want to go in at all, it was mainly the 10th Mountain
I agree Dan
Movie 💪👍💯
Nice movie
The poor Somali that picked up the Firefly, and was looking at it trying to figure out what it was.
God I love 160th nightstalkers
Nice one Hans (Zimmer).

Slow-Mo makes this scene amazing.
Why couldn't the US air force bomb the place to make it an easy victory?
@@kristelvidhi5038 It would've killed so many innocent civilians. The U.S. did that on Dresden, Germany during WW2. The civilian fatalities were MASSIVE! Between 35000-135000 innocent civilians were killed. That is called "total war" to break a countries morale and fighting spirit. However, there's a thin line between war and genocide. There were still innocent people in Mogadishu, Somalia when that operation happened.
@@jarrettowens4215 so what? The US air forces have bombed cities full of civilians before in Germany, Japan and Vietnam. Killing millions.
