Product description
Hollywood war drama inspired by the story of Scott O'Grady, the US fighter pilot who was shot down over Bosnia in 1995 and managed to find his way back to base without being captured. After photographing some Bosnian Serb troops hidden in a forest, Lieutenant Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) and his co-pilot Stackhouse (Gabriel Macht) are shot down by an anti-aircraft missile. Stackhouse breaks his leg in the crash, and Burnett goes off to get help, but the Serbs soon locate Stackhouse and execute him. Burnett now finds himself alone in hostile country and sets out on the long and dangerous journey back to safety. Meanwhile, his commanding officer (Gene Hackman), against all army and NATO rules, sets out on a mission to locate and rescue Burnett.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2025Brilliant film love it
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2024Entertainment
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2020An outstanding film that can only hint at the conflict with the East European struggles. Owen Wilson comes up good from the off, as does Gene Hackman. None of the actions are exaggerated or over stunted, they are within the realms of reality.
It is impossible to describe the film without spoiling the plot for those yet to see this. Only to say that a slap happy serviceman unwittingly steps into action... with horrifying consequences. Days pass without hope of being rescued. The full horror of events for civilians become evident. The final frontier faced by Wilson is frustrating at one point, but this is the urgency and confusion of a battle situation. The final scene is filmed exceptionally well. Follow up info discloses that culprits for atrocities were brought to justice.
The outline of this film does closely follow a real life event and while legality about disclosure became an issue, 'Behind Enemy Lines' is an important historic portrayal of a recent part of European history that has yet to be fully exposed.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2024Good cast as indicated with Gene Hackman. Based on a true story during the Balcan conflict in Bosnia Herzegovina.
Gripping and doesn't pull many punches. A good watch.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2017I liked the film so ordered the DVD, nice cheap price aswell!! Only thing was it came in a big box which was way too big for the DVD and couldn't b posted through my letter box
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2024Great movie👍
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2019Great story about an American plane shot down in Bosnia, and how the Serbs try to hunt down the surviving pilot to kill him. It also portrays difficult decisions and disobeying orders - the conflict of obeying orders or doing what is morally right. Good movie.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2022Great dvd, amazing price.

フーミンReviewed in Japan on 7 January 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars 戦争映画ベストワン
戦争映画は基本的に嫌いです。残酷なシーンも嫌だし、戦争は必要悪かのような描き方が多いからです。なぜ人間は同じ地球の仲間同士
で殺し合うのでしょう?色々な事情、自衛、民族紛争とやむにやまれぬ原因は仕方ないと思います。人間だから、生きていれば腹の立つこともある、人を憎むこともある。でも人間は助け合うことが出来る、人の痛みを自分の痛みとして思いやることが出来る数少ない動物です。だけど誰もが戦争を嫌悪しているわけではありません。この映画の海軍大尉は、戦闘がやりたくて軍隊に入った、偵察任務は退屈なので退役願いを上官に提出する。ところが任務のために少し寄り道をしてしまう。そのため戦闘に巻き込まれてスナイパーに追われながら、一人で安全地帯まで脱出するはめに追い込まれる。その過程を描いた映画だが、戦争映画嫌いな私がなぜかのめり込んでしまった。大尉は無事脱出出来るのか!手に汗握るとは、このことだ。これ以上はネタバレになるので書けないが、戦争美化とまで言わない。これが現代社会の現実だと鼻先に突きつけられた気がした。平和に穏やかに優しい気持ちで日々生きて行きたい、誰もが願っているのに、現実はこうなのだ、と思い知らされた。私の中では戦争アクション映画ベストワンです。

5.0 out of 5 stars Bel film rimasterizzato in Blu-Ray
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo se preso con le promozioni. Arrivato intero perchè a volte capita che le custodie sono ammaccate o con qualche dentino saltato! Sensibilizzare i corrieri!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Detras de las lineas enemigas.
Una película de acción, con un buen sonido, basado en hechos reales. Es entretenida y con aviones de por medio.
