Behind Enemy Lines takes place sometime in the mid ‘90s, at around the time when

the different factions engaged in war within the borders of the former Yugoslavia the Bosnians, Serbs, and

Croats had all agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States. NATO, under command of European

commanders, were in charge of “keeping the peace” between the various factions while the ceasefire was

implemented.  Owen Wilson as U.S. Navy pilot Chris Burnett, a sort of slacker in military camo who doesn’t

feel as if his time guarding the airs of Yugoslavia is worthwhile.  Burnett plans on leaving the Navy for a

cushy job in the private sector as soon as his retirement papers to his commander, Admiral Reigart Burnett.

Along with fellow pilot Stackhouse, is shot down by renegade Serbian forces while the two are doing routine

reconnaissance over a DMZ zone in the mountains. Apparently the duo had photographed the Serbs doing

something naughty, they don’t want exposed.  Both pilots survive the crash, but Stackhouse is located by

the Serbs and executed,and now Burnett is alone, cold, and on the run. The movie has special effects like

U.S. jets maneuvers to elude two surface to air missles and the characters ejection from the damaged

plane.  Another concern an elaborate series of explosions in an area boodytrapped with mines.  As stunning

as the visual effects are at times, they ultimately fail, for we never worry that the invincible Burnett will be

injured.  Nothing can stop this guy.  He’s like a superhero mail carrier. Neither mines, nor machines guns nor

2

tanks can stay this Navy man from his appointed mission.

Sadly, the new film “Behind Enemy Lines” was scheduled to be released in a few months time, but thanks

to patriotic inspired responses from test audiences, the powers that be decided to release the film quick...
