When Col. Ted Masters' (Tim Thomerson) plane goes down in an Arab country and he's sentenced to death for trespassing, his 18-year-old son, Doug (Jason Gedrick), is determined to save him. Unfortunately, Doug isn't the best fighter pilot -- he wasn't accepted into the Air Force because he needs to listen to music in order to hit a target. So he enlists the help of Col. Chappy (Louis Gossett Jr.) to borrow a couple of F-16 planes, fly across the Atlantic and start a rescue mission.

Paul Attanasio Washington Post ... there's no apparent logic to any of this, except as a way to capitalize on the current vogue for imperialist fervor and steal the thunder from Paramount's "Top Gun,"...

alan g Completely unbelievable. Poor acting. Poor plot. This and its sequels should be burned. All copies as if it never existed. What was hollywood thinking? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review stephanie m Watching it now, and am not impressed. Waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review KarmaKitten 2 I love this old movie. This was a big movie back then and Jason Gedrick was like McDreamy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Águia de Aço Assistido: 11-9-23 Elenco: @iamlouisgossettjr @realjasongedrick Modelo: #ação #action #guerra #war Duração: 1h 57m Ano: 1986 Minha opinião: Assisti a este filme na minha juventude e lembro que me impactei. E pude ver novamente e foi um grande dejavu. Onde temos o protagonista Jason é um jovem que tem o seu capturado por inimigos e acusado de espionagem. Então Bem vê que o governo não esta dando a devida atenção para o resgate de seu pai. Então ele pede ao veterano cel. Charles. E assim com uma boa aventura. O incrível que ele foi lançado no mesmo ano que TOP GUN com Tom Cruise. O bom que foi lançado 6 meses antes. O filme tem boas cenas de combate. Foi muito bom em rever este filme. Pena que Jason foi um ator que não decolou. Roteiro e enredo bom. Vale apena assistir? Sim. Mas para as novas gerações, não imagime que seja um Top Gun Maverick. Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Steve H Great feel good movie. To the naysayers: It did NOT try to steal anything from Top Gun. It was released 4 months BEFORE. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review Elliott S its not that realistic Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
