It is a series of powerful events that speak of an officer in the US military who seems desperate for a fatal mistake committed during a period. Now, this man has earned the merit of a helicopter pilot on the Medal of Honor, where things still seem to be within reach.
At the end of Courage Under Fire, you feel torn between admiration and annoyance with the filmmakers, who take an attention-grabbing premise and skillfully develop it into a conclusion that's pure piffle.
