Trivia:
Every mission in the first season is based on actual missions that Eric L. Haney was involved in. There is also a reference to Eric L. Haney in every episode: in this episode it's the first photo that Bob Brown is watching on the photo wall in Ron's cabin - it's a photo of Eric L. Haney. more

Pilot Synopsis, 5 September 2006
10/10
Author: canroberts from Virginia, United States

No spoiler here. This pilot episode establishes the main characters and sets the mood for the rest of the season. The Unit thrusts you, adrenaline pumping, into the world of the United States Army Special Forces.

In this episode the Unit, a secret detachment of highly trained U.S. military operatives, are tasked with stopping a jet liner high-jacking in progress. The team must arrive on location without alerting the enemy, board the aircraft, and terminate the terrorists before they kill another hostage. Meanwhile, the wives of current Unit members meet the wife and daughter of SSG Bob Brown, a new soldier to the team. While she is adjusting to Unit life, she learns what the Unit's mission truly is... to do violence on their behalf, so they and the rest of the U.S. may sleep peaceably at night.

-- I for one cannot wait for the second season to start.
