When an elite eight-man British SAS team is dropped behind enemy lines, their mission is clear: take out Saddam Hussein's SCUD missile systems. But when communications are cut and they find themselves surrounded by Hussein's army, their only hope is to risk capture and torture in a desperate 185-kilometer run to the Syrian border. With a terrific screenplay by the writer of the classic action hits Kelly's Heroes and Red Heat, you'll long remember this compelling story of wartime heroism and bravery.
Editor's Note
Based on Andy McNab's memoir, BRAVO TWO ZERO is the story of the eight man SAS team who, during the Gulf War, were dropped behind enemy lines with 210 packs strapped to their backs and orders to destroy Saddam's "scud alley." Unfortunately, within 24 hours, the team's radios were dead and they found themselves pursued by the Iraqui Army. Sergeant McNab, who commanded the top-secret mission, was one of the five who made it back from behind Iraqui lines, and his story is one of the most heartbreaking and thrilling of the Gulf War.
