During the investigation, Colonel Serling encounters three very different versions of her conduct during her command of a medevac helicopter attempting to rescue a downed Black Hawk crew. Colonel Serling must also determine why different crew members give such different accounts of her conduct, and how these accounts relate to different cultural ideals of masculinity. In addition, the psychological effects of tokenism are explored as Serling, an African-American, must confront the doubts about his own bravery regarding his own conduct during the Gulf War. Courage Under Fire is a powerful movie because it makes us aware of the tensions that differences in gender, race, and culture can create and how they give rise to varying interpretations of the same events.
