Behind Enemy Lines

Description

Detouring over a demilitarized zone in Bosnia to take photographs of what turns out to be a mass grave, a Navy jet is shot down into hostile territory. Since any rescue attempt by U.S. forces could collapse a fragile peace process, the surviving navigator must traverse miles of dangerous territory to reach a safe extraction point—but the Serbian forces hunting him are willing to do anything to prevent news of their genocide from getting out to the rest of the world.
