Dramatický príbeh je výsledkom spolupráce úspešného producenta Jerryho Bruckenheimera a kritikou aj divákmi ceneného režiséra Ridleyho Scotta. Časť elitnej jednotky armády USA je v roku 1993 poslaná do somálskeho Mogadiša, aby sa stala súčasťou mierovej operácie Spojených národov. Úlohou misie je uniesť niekoľko vysokých dôstojníkov somálskeho diktátora. Ide o súčasť strategického plánu na potlačenie občianskej vojny, ktorá zúri po celej krajine. Ale zdanlivo bezpečne naplánovaná misia sa obráti nesprávnym smerom. Rangers aj veteráni musia bok po boku bojovať proti zdrvujúcej presile a utekať za nepriateľskými líniami kým sa záchrannému konvoju nepodarí vyraziť k ich záchrane. V ťažkom boji umierajú priatelia, formujú sa vzťahy, chlapci sa stávajú mužmi a vojaci sa učia ako vyzerá skutočná tvár vojny a hrdinstvo.
