Kolonel Nathaniel Serling is een gedesillusioneerde veteraan uit de Golfoorlog. Hij krijgt de opdracht om de staat van dienst van kapitein Karen Walden te onderzoeken, omdat zij kans maakt om de eerste vrouw te worden die de Medal of Honor ontvangt voor ongeëvenaarde moed in de strijd. Postuum helaas, want kapitein Walden is omgekomen tijdens haar heldendaad. Serling stuit op inconsistenties in de verschillende ooggetuigenverslagen. Hij vermoedt een doofpotaffaire en besluit er alles aan te doen om de waarheid te achterhalen.
Nee, helaas is Courage Under Fire nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
