The USS Forrestal, an aircraft carrier on station in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, receives a mayday from a cargo ship.
The ship reports that they have been attacked, are on fire and adrift. A deployed Navy SH-3 helicopter attempts to rescue
the crew, but is downed by a gunboat and the aircrew is captured. Meanwhile, United States Navy SEALs Dale Hawkins,
James Curran, William "Billy" Graham, James Leary , Homer Rexer, Floyd "God" Dane, and Ramos are recovering from a
bachelor party. Graham is to be married, but the wedding is canceled at the last minute when the whole team is paged
to rescue the captured aircrew. In the Mediterranean, the leader of the terrorists that shot at the Navy helicopter,
Ben Shaheed, orders the killing of the hostages. One crewmember is killed on the spot and another is beaten up, but
the SEAL team arrives just in time to prevent any further murders. Responding to a suspicious noise, Hawkins breaks
silence when he encounters Shaheed in an adjoining room, inadvertently alerting the terrorists. Shaheed claims to
be an Egyptian sailor also being held by the terrorists, and is left by the SEALs. As the SEALs evacuate the
hostages from the area, Hawkins and Graham stumble across a warehouse containing Stinger missiles. Hawkins attempts
to return to the warehouse to destroy the missiles, only to be ordered by Curran to proceed with extraction.
On board an aircraft carrier later that night, the individual team members are debriefed by Naval Intelligence. Curran's
decision to leave the Stinger missiles behind is questioned, but Curran retorts that his primary mission was to rescue
the aircrew and that Naval Intelligence did not do their job properly. Meanwhile, Hawkins is highly agitated by the
mission and has trouble dealing with the emotional upheaval the mission provided. Curran tries to calm him down but is
rebuffed by Hawkins. At the Pentagon, Shaheed is seen in a video interview. The Joint Chiefs of Staff identify Shaheed
and his organization, Al Shudadah. They also identify the interviewer as Claire Varrens, a journalist and author who is
half Lebanese. Her questioning of Shaheed yields an admission that he and his group participated in the bombing of the
Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983. Shaheed admits the complicity freely, saying they only sought revenge for the
bombing of their homes by Navy ships and warplanes. The Joint Chiefs are briefed on the recent mission and Curran
requests permission to destroy the Stingers, but Navy Intelligence has learned they have already been relocated. The
SEALs are ordered on R&R and enjoy a game of golf. Curran, brooding over the previous mission, reads a book authored
by Varrens. During the golf outing, Graham convinces his fiancée to try to finish the wedding, regardless of the
hazards of Graham's job.
The team receives their orders for the next mission. Naval Intelligence has heard that the Stinger missiles are on
board a merchant ship, the Latanya, off the coast of Syria. The SEALs deploy from a submerged submarine, the USS Nyack,
and successfully board the ship, neutralizing two disguised gunmen, only to find out from an EOD team that the missiles
are not on board after all. Frustrated by the recent unreliable intelligence, Curran solicits Varrens's cooperation.
Curran takes Claire on a tour of a SEAL training facility and attempts to woo her over an elegant dinner. Claire is
initially wary but opens up to Curran after learning that a Stinger has been used to shoot down a peace delegation in
Lebanon. Claire provides pictures of men she has encountered who may possibly provide information that may lead the
SEALs to the location of the missiles. While trying to identify possible contacts, Claire tells Curran and Hawkins
that one of her contacts is missing, most likely having been kidnapped by the Israelis. Inspired by this, and an
outburst by Hawkins, Curran presents the idea of kidnapping a potential informant to his superiors who subsequently
recommend the proposal at a National Security Council meeting. A CIA executive at the meeting identifies one of the
targets as a known CIA informant who could be co-opted if taken into custody. On that basis, the SEALs are authorized
to bring him in.
The SEALs infiltrate the area by performing a HALO jump and swimming to shore. Curran leads several of the team inside a
house to secure the informant while Hawkins, Ramos, and Graham remain outside. When Ramos is pinned down by patrolling
militia, Hawkins disobeys Curran's order to stay quiet and instigates a firefight. Although Hawkins finally succeeds in
killing the militiamen, Graham is killed during the firefight. Curran informs Graham's fiancée of his death, and a funeral
with full military honors is held. After the wake, the men drown their sorrows at a local bar. Hawkins gives a toast to
Graham for being the best friend a guy could have. Curran scolds Hawkins for his carelessness that caused Graham's death.
Later, Claire arrives at Curran's houseboat to find a still grieving Curran, leading to a night of intimacy. Curran quietly
leaves the next morning with Claire in bed. The SEALs are deployed to Beirut, this time to meet a local resistance fighter who
will guide them to the building containing the Stingers. Although Dane is killed while attempting to set up a sniping overwatch
position, the SEALs locate the Stingers in an old school building in a heavily-bombed area of the city. Curran leads Leary and
Rexer inside the building to destroy the missiles while Hawkins and Ramos maintain overwatch outside. Hawkins shoots a local
gunman questioning him, alerting the terrorists. Leaving the building, Curran gets shot in the abdomen and thigh. Curran is
pinned down near the building door and orders Hawkins to destroy the building regardless of Curran's being in the blast radius.
Hawkins disobeys the order and rescues Curran while the other SEALs provide suppressing fire before the building is finally
destroyed. The SEALs commandeer a car and attempt to exfiltrate from the city while evading pursuit by an enemy BTR-152 with
a machine gun. The automobile is eventually hit by gunfire and Rexer killed by a stray bullet to the head. Leary, using a
recovered Stinger missile launcher, manages to destroy the APC, and the four remaining SEALs escape to the beach.
Shaheed steals a boat from a pier-side fisherman and follows the SEALs across the water. He spots Curran's body floating
in the sea. As he attempts to pull the body from the water he is attacked by the SEALs and, in an underwater fight, Hawkins
kills Shaheed. The other SEALs take out the remaining topside terrorists and destroy the small boat. With the mission finally
accomplished, the designated exfiltration submarine surfaces, recovering the SEALs.
