October 1993, Mogadishu, Somalia and a force of elite American troops, under the banner of the UN, are sent into the city to abduct a warlord's henchmen. But the carefully laid plan quickly goes belly up and the soldiers are left fighting for their lives with little support and vastly out numbered.

SOUTHERN COMFORT (1982)
Certification18 Our Rating
An analogy to Vietnam as a group of National Guardsmen on patrol in the swamps of Louisiana suddenly find that the French speaking locals, supposedly friendly, are a dangerous foe who know the lie of the land.
