Post Description

Navy SEALs is a 1990 action film, directed by Lewis Teague. The writers were Chuck Pfarrer and Gary Goldman. It was produced by Brenda Feigen and Bernard Williams with consultant William Bradley.

In 1962, President Kennedy, believing that the wars of the future would be low intensity conflicts such as guerilla wars and acts of terrorism, created an elite special forces unit to meet the enemy on his own turf. Experts in sea-air-land operations, they are known as Navy SEALs.
The USS Forrestal, an aircraft carrier, is on station in the eastern Mediterranean Sea in modern times. On the bridge, the watch receives a mayday from a cargo ship. The ship reports that they have been attacked, are on fire and adrift. Wounded men scramble to flee the burning ship. A deployed Navy Sea King helicopter attempts to rescue the crew, only to get fired upon by a gunboat and the naval personnel aboard the Sea King captured.

Meanwhile, a squad of Navy SEALs (Charlie Sheen, Michael Biehn, Dennis Haysbert, Rick Rossovich, Cyril O'Reilly, Bill Paxton, and Paul Sanchez) recently threw a bachelor party the night before for Graham (Haysbert). Graham is going to be married, but the wedding is canceled during the last minute of the ceremony when the team is paged to rescue the stranded naval personnel.

In the Mediterranean, the leader of the terrorists that shot at the Navy helicopter, Ben Shaheed, (Nicholas Kadi), orders the execution of the hostages. One prisoner is executed on the spot and another is beaten up, only for the SEALs to successfully halt the brutality. Responding to a suspicious noise, Hawkins (Sheen) breaks silence when he encounters Shaheed in an adjoining room, inadvertently alerting the others. Shaheed evades capture by claiming to be an Egyptian sailor also being held by the terrorists in the building but has his face video-recorded by Ramos (Sanchez). The SEALs evacuate the hostages from the area as they learn that Shaheed's group was in possession of Stinger missiles. Hawkins attempts to return to the warehouse containing the missiles, only to be ordered by Curran (Biehn) to proceed with extraction.
