Black Hawk Down is a great movie.
Don't quite remember the exact details, but they were supposed to sweep in and capture some important person and be out as fast as possible. They had captured that guy riding in the car in very beginning which I assume gave them the location of where the targets would be. Instead the militia knew they were coming and were waiting. This can be seen when the little boy was holding up the mobile phone so the warlord would hear the chopters flying past.
If you are looking for more war movies, another one of my favorites is We Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson and set during the Vietnam War.
