February 1976. Somalian rebels hijack a school bus carrying 21 French children and their teacher in Djibouti City. When the terrorists drive it to a no-man’s-land on the border between Somalia and French territory, the French Government sends out a newly formed elite squad to rescue the hostages. Within a few hours, the highly trained team arrives to the crisis area, where the Somalian National Army has taken position behind the barbed wire on the border. The French unit is left with very few options to rescue the hostages. As the volatile situation unravels, the French men quickly come up with a daring plan: carry out a simultaneous 5 men sniper attack to get the children and the teacher out safely. A true story.

Viewing Notes
Someone mentioned this in their list of top 10 shootouts in a movie and it was on Amazon so here we are. I wasn’t sure how well this would go because I was still under the weather and pretty worn out from both yesterday and trying to do too many errands today. It doesn’t waste much time getting to the meat of the story and set up so I got into it from the beginning thankfully.
I’m not sure I’d put this on a list of top shootouts in a movie, but when things come to an explosive head it does get really good.
