Behind Enemy Lines is a 2001 feature film directed by John Moore.
Lieutenant Chris Burnett is a top naval aviator who is frustrated that fragile geo-politics have kept him from what he knows best: flying F/A-18 Superhornet jets into combat.
"We're watching, not fighting," he tells Admiral Reigart, who thinks Burnett hasn't really learned what it means to be a soldier.
During a routine reconnaissance mission, Burnett photographs something no one was meant to see and is shot down.
Trapped behind enemy lines, Burnett struggles to survive the relentless pursuit of a ruthless secret police enforcer, a deadly tracker with a sniper rifle and countless hostile troops.
