Demi
Moore
stars
as
Lieutenant
Jordan
O'Neil,
the
first
female
candidate
for
the
U.S.
Navy
SEAL
unit,
a
clandestine
strike
force
drawn
from
the
crème
de
la
crème
of
the
combined
services--an
opportunity
provided
her
by
the
political
maneuvering
of
Senator
Lillian
de
Haven
(Anne
Bancroft).
To
make
the
grade,
Jordan
has
to
survive
a
grueling
selection
process
in
which
60
percent
of
all
candidates
wash
out.
Enigmatic
Master
Chief
John
Urgayle
(Viggo
Mortensen)
runs
the
brutal
training
program
that
involves
20-hour
days
of
running,
marching,
and
crawling
through
obstacle
courses
under
the
worst
weather
conditions
while
carrying
landing
rafts--not
to
mention
eating
out
of a
garbage
can
during
breaks.
Along
with
the
best
of
the
men,
the
lean,
mean,
shaven-headed
Jordan
handles
the
punishment,
including
a
bizarrely
motivated
beating
from
her
drill
sergeant.
The
top
brass,
confident
that
a
woman
would
quickly
drop
out,
becomes
concerned
as
Jordan's
ability
to
handle
SEAL
training
becomes
evident.
Soon
she
must
contend
with
trumped-up
charges
that
she's
fraternizing
with
women,
and
the
senator
begins
receiving
threats
that
military
bases
in
her
state
may
have
to
be
closed.
Director
Ridley
Scott
aestheticizes
the
harrowingly
realistic
training
sequences
with
photography
of
austere
beauty.
