''Basic'' is a 2003 thriller film directed by John McTiernan.
[[John Travolta (Creator)]] plays Tom Hardy, a DEA agent and former Army Ranger operating in Panama who is called upon by old Army buddy Bill Styles at a nearby base to investigate a training exercise that was being led by Hardy's old drill sergeant [[Samuel L Jackson|Sgt. Nathan West]]. A training exercise that resulted in multiple casualties.
The only things known for sure is that after a prolonged and grueling training period, Sgt. West took half a dozen soldiers to a remote location for a live fire exercise just as a hurricane is barreling down on them. After 17 hours without radio contact, a helicopter is sent in to pick them up. As the helicopter draws near, one soldier can be seen carrying another who is apparently wounded. Suddenly a third soldier pops out of the forest and starts shooting at the two of them. After an exchange of gunfire, the third soldier goes down.
