G.I. Jane is an 1997 action movie that tells the story of the first woman to undergo SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land) training. Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil (Moore's character) is hand-picked by a U.S. Senator Lillian de Haven (Anne Bancroft) to go through the rigorous Navy SEAL training right along with the men. Jordan O'Neil faces sexism and physical challenges as well as the horse-trading by the Senator who selected her for the experimental program.
PlotSpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Demi Moore stars as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil, the first female candidate for SEAL training to become part of an elite clandestine strike force drawn from the crème de la crème of the combined services. To make the grade, Jordan has to survive a grueling selection process in which 60 percent of all candidates wash out. Enigmatic Master Chief John Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen) runs the brutal training program that involves 20-hour days of running, marching, and crawling through obstacle courses under the worst weather conditions while carrying landing rafts – not to mention eating out of a garbage can during breaks. Along with the best of the men, the lean, mean, shaven-headed Jordan handles the punishment, including a bizarrely motivated beating from her drill sergeant. The top brass, confident that a woman would quickly drop out, becomes concerned as Jordan's ability to handle training becomes evident. Soon she must contend with trumped-up charges that she is a lesbian, and is fraternizing with women. Apparently, those in the top echelon of government never intended for her cause to succeed. They did not believe that American women should be put in harm's way, nor have other male soldiers "peering up their behinds" when they urinated. The senator begins receiving threats that military bases in her state may have to be closed. Spoilers end here.
