    When eager young Navy Pilot, Lt. Chris Burnett (Wilson), is sent on a photographic mission over Bosnia, he thinks he's in for another routine flight. However, after witnessing and photographing activity in the demilitarized zone where there shouldn't be any, his plane is blown up. Forced to evacuate, Chris tries to stay alive and one step ahead of the Serbs. When Admiral Reigert (Hackman) learns of his pilot's fate, he goes against strict NATO orders and risks his career to cross "Behind Enemy Lines" in search of the young man. (Tricia Littrell)

    Special features include commentary by Director John Moore and Editor Paul Martin Smith, commentary by Producers John Davis and Wyck Godfrey, the theatrical trailer, and additional trailers.

    The 2.35:1 Blu-ray Disc exhibits well-saturated colors and deep blacks, but it does not have the level of clarity and dimensionality that are staples of the best releases. Details are well resolved, but fine details are not as impressive as they can be. (Danny Richelieu)

    The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack sounds great—I'm sure. Unfortunately, we do not have a Blu-ray Disc player capable of decoding this advanced codec. Instead, it decodes the core DTS® stream at 1.5 Mbps, which does sound very good. Fidelity is pristine, but dialogue can sound slightly edgy. The mix is fantastic and fully engaging. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
