Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we splice together the best durn 1980s coming of age mix tape of a movie we can and slap that bad boy into our Sony Leg Man and like a group of high tech army brats steal/borrow a couple of F16s from the HBO Max hangar and take them all the way to the danger … area … All in the name of saving dear old captured hostage Pa from the Axis of Evil. Because if we don’t who will? The ineffective adults and their government. Enough talking!! More Action!! Wait, how much will it cost? 3 million dollars more than Top Gun? oh ho ho…A little more talking and a little less action then! Do we still have enough for matching Eagles Jackets. Right on!

Anywho, somebody grab that pile of dot matrix era print outs and follow me while I show you how routine my routine is. You know…give me detailed flight plans while I do my 5 mile run and then outline the enemy’s position while I eat my bran muffin and then read me off the weather forecast while I shower and then whisper to me the sit rep while I take a nap and then give me some privacy because I got to evacuate that bran muffin…ahhh…routine latrine…hand me that flight plan.

Randy, Use your deep voice so they don’t know you are a kid and turn off that stuff!

BRIEF

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. 

Rated : PG-13
