"Saving Jessica Lynch" is a made-for-TV movie that aired on NBC on Sunday, 9 November 2003, featuring Canadian actress Laura Regan in the title role. The movie begins with the ambush of Jessica Lynch's convoy in the middle of an Iraqi city and follows a version of events that credits an Iraqi citizen, Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief, with being responsible for helping to arrange a daring rescue by US special forces.

Inaccuracies

Although the movie was based on a true story, most of the circumstances of the rescue have been challenged by the media [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/correspondent/3028585.stm BBC NEWS | Programmes | Correspondent | Saving Private Lynch story 'flawed' ] ] as well as by Lynch herself. In the movie, Lynch was portrayed as a heroic soldier that fought up to her capture. In reality, after the crash of her vehicle, she fell unconscious and woke up at the hospital. Her rescue operation was carried out at an unresisting civilian hospital.
