Captain Karen Walden (Meg Ryan) was a rescue helicopter pilot who died shortly before her helicopter crew was rescued after it crashed in Desert Storm.

It first appears that she made a spectacular rescue of a downed helicopter crew, then held her own crew together to fight off the Iraqis after her copter crashed. LT Colonel Nathaniel Serling (Denzel Washington), who is struggling with his own demons from Desert Storm is assigned to investigate and award her the Medal of Honor.

However some conflicting accounts from her crew and soldiers in the area, cause him to be question whether she deserves it.
