'Courage Under Fire'
Denzel Washington is Lt. Col. Nathaniel Serling, who is beleaguered with bad dreams and a tough, investigative
mission. Meg Ryan plays a slain army pilot whose
apparent valor on the battlefield is the subject of his
inquiry.
With the Gulf War now over, the White House is
scrambling for a public hero. Their pet candidate is Capt.
Karen Walden (Ryan), a medevac pilot who died in
action during a disastrous rescue attempt. When Serling separately interviews the
surviving crew members, he discovers anecdotal discrepancies.
That significant night and morning, during which Walden
and her crew held out against the enemy, becomes an
increasing mystery. -- Desson Howe
