Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.” One of them quotes the moving words of the Native American leader Tecumseh that concludes, “When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. “Prepare for a bigger fight than you were expecting,” they are advised in one operation, but the SEALs are always ready. All may be chaos around them, but you get the feeling that they could keep going with another 20 thought-through options for pick-up if the first 19 can not work. “Moving to tertiary extract,” they continue. “This will be a hot extract,” they say crisply into the walkie-talkies as they return fire. What is even more fascinating than the pulse-pounding action is the way the Seals keep adapting their escape plan and updating their team with remarkable economy and precision. In one exciting chase, the bad guys are closing in and shooting at them with automatic weapons and one of the SEALs has been critically injured. What they don’t rely on is anything going as originally planned. Most of all, they rely on training, integrity, and trust. The SEALS get little notice and less background briefing and they have to save the day, using a combination of the most cutting edge technology in weapons and communication and the oldest and most basic forms of technology (hand-to-hand combat) and communication (hand signals and just knowing each other and the mission objectives). Terrorists are trying to enter the United States to detonate suicide bombings that will murder thousands of civilians. According to the story, a CIA agent has been kidnapped and is being tortured. The story is pure fiction but the situations are real and the filming includes footage of training missions with live ammunition. More than once, shooting had to shut down so that the SEALS could get back to work. Every person in uniform you see in the film is currently serving in the U.S.
Navy SEALS re-enacting some of their most dangerous missions, with live ammunition. And so they made “Act of Valor,” a thrilling action/adventure film starring active duty U.S. After spending time with the SEALS and learning about their extraordinary missions and their extraordinary devotion to their families, their country, and each other, it became clear that even the biggest stars in Hollywood could never do them justice. The Navy SEALS approached the Bandito Brothers film-makers about telling their story, years before they became headline heroes by finding and killing Osama Bin Laden.
