Black Hawk Down
Black Hawk Downprovided a young Tom Hardy with his very first film role . Ridley Scott had put up several flops in a row during the nineties such asG.I. JaneandWhite Squall , but he made a hell of a comeback in the 2000s . This began withGladiator , which became a surprise hit and made Russell Crowe a moving picture whizz . Scott followed with a winning streak of hits , let in the delightfully demented sequelHannibalandKingdom Of Heaven ; while the latter ’s theatrical cut received motley review , it ’s arguably one of his good movies in its manager ’s cut form .
Amid this running came Scott ’s 2001 war dramaBlack Hawk Down , which recounted the real - life Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 . The picture receive praise for its visceral battle sequences and featured a Brobdingnagian ensemble cast that include Josh Hartnett , Ewan McGregor , Jason Isaacs , William Fichtner and the late Sam Shepard . The movie is also notable for the list of actors who look in smaller roles who have since become stars in their own rightfield , such as Orlando Bloom , Hugh Dancy , Ty Burrell and Nikolaj Coster - Waldau ( Game Of Thrones ) .

Given the field topic the picture show is appropriately unaccented on temper once the battle begins , though the interactions between Hardy ’s Ranger Twombly and Ewen Bremner ’s ( Wonder Woman ) Nelson provide a small bit of levity . The two become split up from their building block and have to make their way of life through the city alone , but Twombly accidentally deaf Nelson during a firefight when firing his weapon too close to Nelson ’s ear .
