US Lieutenant Chris Burnett is a strong and intelligent marine officer but he will be exposed to a mission that looks dangerous and deadly. US naval officer Chris Burnett falls over one part of Bosnia under very difficult circumstances. At that moment, the lieutenant must fight for survival in that hostile land. He is tracked down by hostile soldiers, a killer tracker, and a ruthless Bosnian policeman, especially American soldiers. Chris tries to escape from enemy territory through many life-threatening attempts.
The only thing certain about Behind Enemy Lines is that Mr. Wilson is in it for the chance to work with Mr. Hackman, and Mr. Hackman is in it for the money.
An old-fashioned game of the cinematic cat-and-mouse, soldier-on-the-run variety.
