Synopsis

BLACK OPS travels the world to take viewers along on top secret special ops missions. The series reveals how elite special operations units in different countries carry out their high-risk/zero-recognition assignments and shares the inside story of some of the most dramatic military actions in recent history. When 40 Chechen terrorists armed with guns and bombs hold 800 theater-goers hostage, it's up to Russia's elite anti-terrorist force, Spetsnaz group "Alpha," to get the hostages out alive. Negotiation is not an option, and a siege would set off the explosives. The only way to save the hostages' lives is to use an untested top-secret knock-out gas.

Sometimes there is no choice. Whether it’s fanatical terrorists, implacable enemies, there are times, in the words of General Stanley McCrystal, when you are dealing with “irreconcilables.” Then, you just have to go in and kill them. That’s when you call upon the elite Special Forces units. Some are world famous - the SAS and the Navy Seals. Others lurk more in the shadows – like India’s Black Cats and Russia’s Alfa Group. But this is deeply high-risk stuff. When a Special Forces Operation goes wrong, there can be many innocent casualties and profound political consequences. Ask Jimmy Carter. A botched raid cost him his presidency. This series will reveal the workings of these elite Black Ops units and tell the inside story of some of the most dramatic events in recent history.
