Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War, Behind Enemy Lines follows the harrowing journey of U.S. Navy Lieutenant Chris Burnett, portrayed by the charismatic Owen Wilson. Burnett, a skilled reconnaissance officer, finds himself in a precarious situation when a routine reconnaissance mission goes awry. After witnessing a brutal war crime committed against Bosnian Muslims, Burnett becomes a target, forcing him to navigate enemy territory in a desperate bid for survival.

As he struggles to evade capture, Burnett’s commander, Admiral Leslie McMahon (played by Gene Hackman), fights against bureaucratic red tape and military protocols to launch a rescue operation. The film’s tension escalates as Burnett’s limited time runs out, and the audience is left wondering whether he will make it back home alive.
