Antoine Fuqua · 2003 · survival

Antoine Fuqua's 2003 war film. As a coup plunges Nigeria into ethnic slaughter, a Navy SEAL team under Lieutenant Waters is sent to pluck an American doctor from her jungle mission. She refuses to leave her patients, and Waters - against orders - turns back to escort a column of refugees on foot through the jungle toward the Cameroon border, the rebels closing in behind them mile by mile.

   The mission

   Deep in the southern Nigerian jungle, Dr. Lena Kendricks runs a Catholic mission hospital in the path of the advancing rebels - the American the SEALs are ordered to extract, and no one else.

   The jungle

   Turning back for the refugees he first abandoned, Waters leads them on foot through the bush - past a village being massacred - realizing too late that the rebels are tracking a fugitive prince hidden among them.

   The Cameroon border

   At the frontier the SEALs make a bloody last stand, calling in airstrikes as the rebels close, and get the survivors across the line into Cameroon - the cost paid in their own dead.
