Behind Enemy Lines is a 2001 action movie directed by John Moore, starring Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman.Lt. Chris Burnett (Wilson) a U.S. Navy flight officcer who gets shot down over Bosnia and has to survive while trapped behind enemy lines. The Serb force that is after him, and which summarily executed his pilot, is especially tenacious because during their recon mission Burnett's crew inadvertently photographed mass graves. Running ensues. Meanwhile, a task force led by Rear Admiral Reigart (Hackman) embarks on an (unauthorized) rescue mission to try and rescue Burnett.The film was followed by three direct-to-video sequels, Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil, Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia, and SEAL Team 8: Behind Enemy Lines. | |

Gatling Good: The Hueys used to rescue Burnett are armed with Miniguns in addition to unguided rockets. Burnett & Stackhouse's F/A-18F Super Hornet also has a built-in Vulcan rotary cannon, but it's not used in the film. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The second movie's plot is based on an enormous explosion in 2004 in Ryanggang. The explosion's true cause is still unknown, and the U.S., South Korea, & North Korea all all gave contradicting stories on what caused it. The film goes with the explanation that SEAL Team One was sent into North Korea to sabotage a nuclear missile under construction. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: Burnett swaps his flightsuit for a dead mook's uniform to get out of an enemy-controlled town. It works, but backfires when the Serbs broadcast footage of the dead mook's corpse (with a bag over his head) to make it look like he's been killed, which makes the NATO forces turn around when they were heading to rescue him. | |

Darkest Africa | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_19d8d325 | comment |
Darkest Africa: SEAL Team 8 uses the more modern depiction of the trope, with genocidal warlords oppressing helpless villagers. The climax of the film takes place in what initially seems to be a normal, modern city, but that gets turned on its head when it turns out nearly everyone on the street is packing some kind of firearm. The shootout that ensues even results in most of the normal people degenerating into a chaotic riot and arming themselves with whatever Improvised Weapon they can find. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The F/A-18F Super Hornet depicted in the first film didn't have its first flight until 1995, and then didn't enter service until 1999, making it unlikely to have flown during the Bosnian War of 1992-1995. Also, there's a reference to the film Cast Away, which didn't exist in 1995 (it was released in 2000). | |

Action Survivor: Burnett in the original film. Being a lone navigator with only a sidearm for protection, he spends nearly his entire ordeal running for his life from the Serbian forces hunting him down. He only directly engages an enemy at the very end, both because there's nowhere left for him to run while he awaits rescue and because said enemy, Sasha, was the same guy who executed Stackhouse. | |

Artistic License – Military | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: From the first movie: fuel drop tanks generally won't explode like that, and certainly won't make a fireball big enough to divert a heat-seeking missile. On top of that, the missiles are radar-guided, meaning that the fireball and the flares they pop are useless. Finally, once the Hornet is hit and they punch out, both Burnett and Stackhouse each have to pull the handle for their Ejection Seat. In a fighter, if one crewmember pulls the handle, both seats are automatically ejected. | |

In other words, warlord of a paramilitary unit and officer of an actual military force. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: At the end, Burnett is fleeing through open ground in the snow but isn't hit once by the fire from dozens of Serb paramilitary troops, mobile anti-aircraft batteries, APCs, snipers, and even a tank. Instead only one poor U.S. Red Shirt in a helicopter is hit by the salvo of destruction. The gangsters in the Congolese city at the end of SEAL Team 8 cannot shoot to save their lives. Meanwhile, Case nails every one of his shots, most of his kills being done with an M9 handgun. Roger Ebert described the film as "a showdown between a man begging to be shot, and an enemy that can't hit the side of a Bosnian barn". | |

| Behind Enemy Lines / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
The gangsters in the Congolese city at the end of SEAL Team 8 cannot shoot to save their lives. Meanwhile, Case nails every one of his shots, most of his kills being done with an M9 handgun. | |

Big "NO!" | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": Burnett accidentally lets one out when Stackhouse gets killed. Unfortunately, it tips off the Serbs, who had no idea he even existed before then. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Behind Enemy Lines / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Two in the first movie: A minor one when the Serbs find Stackhouse. The Big Bad speaks with Sasha, the Serbs walk away, Sasha helps Stackhouse up, and it looks like they're going to take him prisoner, if nothing else...and then Sasha shoots Stackhouse in the back of the head. The initial rescue for Burnett is almost there, when they get the word that Burnett's been killed and are recalled. He literally has to watch them fly away. | |

Retirony: Thankfully subverted in the first film - with two layers. Burnett was planning to separate from the Navy after the end of his current tour (in two weeks), and the recon flight they were shot down on was just a few days before the carrier was due to leave. | |

Gangsta Style: Burnett fires his sidearm this way at the end of the film and actually manages to hit something with it. Granted he's doing it while sliding across the ice and firing one-handed, so Rule of Cool is firmly in effect. | |

| Behind Enemy Lines / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Mass graves did happen, and a U.S. pilot did get shot down, but that's about it. The pilot in real life was USAF, whereas the film version is U.S. Navy. The pilot US Air Force captain Scott O' Grady even sued the makers of the film, saying that 20th Century used "his story" without permission. He lost. | |

Restricted Rescue Operation: Piquet repeatedly obstructs Reigart's attempts to rescue Burnett because extracting him from a demilitarized zone could flare up hostilities and cause an international incident. By the end of it, Reigart decides to screw the rules and rescue Burnett even if it costs him his career. | |
