Black Hawk Down (2001), directed by Ridley Scott, is based on the 1999 non-fiction book of the same name by journalist Mark Bowden.

The film and book document the true story of the U.S. military's October 1993 raid in Mogadishu, Somalia, known as the Battle of Mogadishu or Operation Gothic Serpent.

Key Aspects of the True Story:

The Mission:
U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force operators were sent into Mogadishu to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

The Incident:
Two U.S. MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down by rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) in the city, shifting the mission from a raid to a desperate rescue operation.

The Battle:
Nearly 100 U.S. troops were surrounded and engaged in an intense 17-hour firefight with hundreds of Somali fighters and civilians.

The Outcome:
The battle resulted in the deaths of 18 American soldiers (with over 70 wounded) and hundreds of Somali casualties.

The film focuses on the bravery and survival of the soldiers involved in this brutal, close-combat battle, which was part of a larger UN humanitarian mission plagued by the Somali Civil War.
