Today’s movie is an action/adventure film with scenes that happen on December 27. Watch and enjoy this film tonight.
       
BEHIND ENEMY LINES 

Lieutenant Chris "Longhorn" Burnett and his pilot Lieutenant Jeremy "Smoke" Stackhouse are assigned to fly a photo recon mission on Christmas day by Rear Admiral Leslie McMahon Reigart after Burnett annoys the Admiral by announcing he plans to resign his commission. Burnett talks Stackhouse into veering off-course over the demilitarized zone where they photo Serb Bozniack forces burying massacred civilians in mass graves. The Serbs shot down the plane, but both Burnett and Stackhouse eject. The Serbs find Stackhouse and execute him. The French Admiral commanding NATO forces refuses to let the admiral launch a rescue mission. The admiral leaks the story of Burnett’s shootdown to the press. On December 27, 1995 [1:02:32 to 1:38:58] Burnett is picked up by Bosniak guerillas. The Serbs attack, but Burnett changes uniforms with a dead Bozniak soldier and flees. The Serbs present the dead body wearing his uniform as Burnett’s, which  causes a NATO rescue mission to be aborted.  Burnett returns to his ejection seat and activates the beacon, notifying the Navy and the Serbs of his location. The admiral, in defiance of orders leads a rescue mission. Burnett kills the sniper tracking him, finds the disk with the photos of the mass graves and escapes with the rescue force. The Admiral is retired while Burnett stays in the Navy.
