On October 3, 1993, an elite force of 120 American Delta units and Ranger infantry were dropped into Mogadishu, Somalia, to abduct two lieutenants of Somalian warlord Mohmaed Farrah Aidid.

The documentary combines actual footage of the operation and interviews with key survivors to present a minute-by-minute account of the battle.
