Bravo Two Zero is a 1999 two-hour television miniseries (broadcast in two parts between 3 and 4 January in the UK), based on the 1993 book of the same name by Andy McNab.[1] The film covers real life events – from the perspective of Andy McNab, patrol commander of Bravo Two Zero, a British SAS patrol, tasked to find Iraqi Scud missile launchers during the Gulf War in 1991. The names of the patrol members killed were changed.

Bravo Two Zero was directed by Tom Clegg.[2] A previous film about the patrol, The One That Got Away, based on the book of the same name by Chris Ryan, was broadcast in 1996 though it follows the perspective of Corporal Chris Ryan (Colin Armstrong).
