Relive the Battle That Inspired Ridley Scott's War Epic in 'Surviving Black Hawk Down' Trailer

In 2002, Ridley Scott delivered his frenetic war epic Black Hawk Down to audiences, earning widespread acclaim for his harrowing depiction of a desperate rescue effort following a mission gone wrong in Somalia. The film specifically recounts the real-life Battle of Mogadishu, based on the novel of the same name by journalist Mark Bowden, in which a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed behind enemy lines. Now, over 23 years since the story first reached the big screen, Netflix is heading straight to the source to paint a true-to-life picture of what happened with help from the real people involved on both sides of the conflict. The streamer released a new trailer for its three-part docuseries Surviving Black Hawk Down taking viewers onto the battlefield ahead of its release in February.
