General Note
From the Producer of The Hunt For Red October and the director of Red Dawn comes this explosive wartime adventure roaring with spectacular aerial action. Danny Glover plays Commander Frank Camparelli, the battle-hardened squadron leader of an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War. Brad Johnson is pilot Jake Grafton, a disillusioned young renegade looking for payback. Wilem Dafoe is Cole, the cynical, hell-bent bombardier Grafton recruits to fly an unauthorized mission behind enemy lines. The target: a missile deopt in Hanoi. The plane: the A-6 Intruder, a low-altitude bomber with no defensive weapons. The risk: court-martial at the hands of Commander Camparelli...if the live to return.
