Navy Seals

The USS Forrestal, stationed in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, receives a distress signal from a cargo ship that is under attack and ablaze. The situation calls for an immediate response from the naval forces to prevent a humanitarian disaster.

A Navy SH-3 helicopter is deployed for a rescue operation to save the crew of the burning cargo ship. Unfortunately, this effort ends in tragedy when the helicopter is shot down by a hostile gunboat, resulting in the capture of its aircrew.

A team of Navy SEALs, comprising skilled operatives like Charlie Sheen and Michael Biehn, is summoned back to base while unwinding from a bachelor party. They quickly prepare for an urgent rescue mission to save the captured aircrew.

Tensions rise as the terrorist leader Ben Shaheed orders the execution of hostages, marking the death of one crew member and brutalizing another. This dire situation compels the SEALs to accelerate their mission to rescue the hostages.

During a crucial moment, SEAL team member Hawkins accidentally reveals their location while meeting Shaheed, who falsely claims to be an Egyptian sailor. This encounter raises alarms about the SEALs' safety and the integrity of their mission.

While evacuating hostages, Hawkins and his teammate Graham stumble upon a cache of Stinger missiles in a nearby warehouse. However, despite this significant find, their mission directives prioritize extracting the hostages over engaging in additional conflict.

Back on the USS Forrestal, the SEALs come under intense scrutiny from Naval Intelligence for their decision to abandon the important missile stockpile. Curran defends his team, asserting that their primary mission was the rescue of the aircrew, challenging the intelligence community's oversight.

At the Pentagon, it is revealed that Shaheed is linked to a terrorist group responsible for multiple violent attacks, including the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon. The SEALs are tasked with tracking the Stinger missiles now believed to be aboard a merchant ship named the *Latanya*.

The SEAL team launches a new mission from the submerged USS Nyack to investigate the *Latanya*. However, their efforts yield no results, leading to frustration and raising questions about the reliability of the intelligence they are receiving.

Curran turns to journalist Claire Varrens for assistance in uncovering vital information about their mission. While they investigate together, a mutual attraction develops, complicating their professional relationship amidst the ongoing danger.

With new orders, the SEALs return to action in Beirut, facing a dire situation filled with unexpected casualties. The mission intensifies as they confront significant threats while searching for the Stinger missiles.

During the chaotic mission in Beirut, the SEAL team suffers devastating losses, including the death of member Dane. This tragic event heightens the stakes and emotional toll on the team members, especially on Curran.

In a critical moment, Hawkins disobeys direct orders to save Curran, who has been severely injured during their attempted escape from a bombed school building. His bravery is exemplary, showcasing the spirit of teamwork and sacrifice within the SEALs.

As the SEALs make their escape, they face relentless enemy fire, and Hawkins's heroism shines as he destroys a pursuing armored vehicle. The culmination of their mission leads to an underwater confrontation with Shaheed, where Hawkins confronts and eliminates the terror threat.

With their capture narrowly avoided and mission objectives met, the designated submarine surfaces to recover the SEALs. The operation concludes with a sense of accomplishment amidst the sacrifices made, highlighting themes of bravery and resilience.
