Product Description
Description
Fighter navigator Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) wants out of the Navy: he was looking for something more than boring recon missions he's been flying. He finds himself the lone Christmas day mission over war-torn Bosnia. But, when he talks pilot Stackhouse into flying slightly off-course to check out an interesting target, the two get shot down. Burnett is soon alone, trying to outrun a pursuing army, while commanding officer Reigert (Gene Hackman) finds his rescue operation hamstrung by politics, forcing Burnett to run far out of his way.

This movie is based upon a true story.
It's Christmas day but that doesn't mean that Burnett and Stackhouse will be spared of a mission to fly over war-torn Bosnia.
As they fly over Bosnia, these two brave American soldiers notice that the serbs are still roaming the Bosnia's region but worst of all they discover a mass grave. The hand-blooded serbs don't like the idea of Americans shooting photographs from the plane and reveal their ugly deeds to the world so they Shoot the plane succesfully then things start to go terribly wrong as the Americans are behind dangerous enemy lines.
One gets captured and executed immediately. The other one escapes and this movie is how he survives.
Absolutely accurate. The Serbs and French commanders who back up their war crimes are shown like they truly are.
A must see movie.
Highly Recommended
What the F**K???

this is the worst movie I have ever seen...What happened? Are people too scared to fly in real jets now days to shoot films like they did in top gun, so they reley on computers to do it for them? I think so! The picture might as well be a cartoon because it looks that bad. If you want to see a movie like this see top gun...Better plot, better acting and much better scenes...and all the flying is real in top gun...this one however should find its way to your local landfill and get crushed by a bulldozer!
Bad beyond words.

personally i would've been better watching something else then this stupid picture, i try to be fair when watching it , but they broke too many rules in the film. i thought i was watching a corny army video game with matrix moves in it,that the impression got anyway. owen wilson better stick to comedies because i could'nt take him seriously the lines he's given in this film are corny at best & remind me of the comedies he's done so he never fully shakes off his comedy shadow for a serious role sorry owen. it's a shame that gene hackman a very good serious/comedic actor got mix up in this turkey of a film i hope next time he's a little more careful in scripts he picks. anybody would be better off watching top gun , the tom clancy films anything but this turkey.
just thought i should warning you.

Enjoyable but the story has holes
While I enjoyed this movie, I was discouraged by several major holes, especially those which would have more clearly showed the immorality of America's agreement to stick its head... Read more

Action thriller
I can't believe I missed this movie until now.
I think the action, Wilson running, his pursuers, reminds of another movie where Hackman was on the run. Read more

Great escapism for the blow 'em up crowd
"Behind Enemy Lines" is a great example of the action film that is so fast-paced, so visually dazzling, and so tense that the viewer doesn't have much time to think about... Read more

Hollywood Tripe
Lame. Supposed to be loosely based on the actual shootdown of a US aircraft over Bosnia, this is just another Hollywood rah-rah movie. Read more

The only reason I gave this movie 3 stars instead of 2 is because of the early movie flight sequences. Read more
