A retired pilot sneaks into the Soviet Union for the Pentagon to steal a topsecret, ultrasophisticated warplane and fly it out of the country. Best for the lowaltitude flight and aerial battle sequences, but too slow on character and much too slow getting started. 136m/C VHS, DVD . Clint Eastwood, Freddie Jones, David Huffman, Warren Clarke, Ronald Lacey, Kenneth Colley, Nigel Hawthorne, Kai Wulff; D: Clint Eastwood; C: Bruce Surtees; M: Maurice Jarre.
