The story of 160 elite U.S. soldiers who dropped into Mogadishu in October 1993 to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord, but found themselves in a desperate battle with a large force of heavily armed Somalis.

Black Hawk Down (2001) is truly a great war movie. Filmed extroirdinarally with gritty action scenes, this movie is (one of) the best war movies I've seen since Saving Private Ryan.

In 2001, Adoti played the main antagonist in Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, Yousuf Dahir Mo'alim. Since then he has gone on to co-star in Resident Evil: Apocalypse, opposite Milla Jovovich, and most recently the movie Cover, directed by Bill Duke.

Ever since he convinced cinematographer Sławomir Idziak to cover the elaborate action sequences in “ Black Hawk Down ” with 11 cameras, Ridley Scott has been evolving a multi-camera style that is as creatively dynamic as it is economically sensible, capturing a maximum number of angles in a minimal amount of time.

Yes. Black Hawk Down is based on true events that occurred in Somalia's capital city, Mogadishu (or Moqdishu) in October 1993. Starting in 1992, "Operation: Restore Hope" was the focus of major U.S. military operations in Somalia to supply aid and restore order to Somalia, which had been mired in civil war since 1991.
